Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Poppy seeds do not require any special preparation. However, you can lightly scarify (scratch) the seeds with sandpaper or soak them in water overnight to improve germination rates.

Sowing:

Direct sow seeds in early spring or late fall (for fall flowers) when the soil temperature is around 50-60°F (10-15°C).
Scatter seeds over prepared soil and lightly press them into the soil surface. Poppies need light to germinate, so do not cover them with soil.
Space seeds about 6-12 inches apart to allow for their mature size.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 10-14 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, but avoid waterlogging.

Transplanting:

Poppy plants do not transplant well due to their delicate taproot. It's best to sow them directly where they are to grow.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Once established, poppies are drought-tolerant. Water them during dry spells, but do not overwater as they prefer slightly dry conditions.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and prevent self-seeding, if desired.
Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but avoid covering the seeds as they germinate.
