Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: No specific preparation required, but scarification (scratching the seed coat with sandpaper) can help improve germination rates.

Sowing: 

Sow seeds directly into the garden bed in early spring or late summer. Scatter seeds over prepared soil and lightly press them into the soil surface.

Germination: 

Germination typically occurs within 10-14 days under optimal conditions of soil moisture and temperature (around 60-70°F).

Transplanting: 

Poppy seeds are best sown directly into the garden bed as they do not transplant well due to their delicate taproot system.

Care and Maintenance: 

Keep the soil evenly moist during the germination period. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to allow proper spacing between plants (about 6-12 inches apart). Provide adequate water during dry periods, but avoid overwatering as poppies are susceptible to root rot. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.

Happy gardening!
