Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

• Poppy seeds don’t require special preparation but scarifying (scratching) them with sandpaper or soaking in water overnight can improve germination rates.

Sowing:

1. Direct Sowing:
   • Sow seeds in early spring or late fall (for fall blooms) when soil temperatures are 50–60°F (10–15°C).
   • Scatter seeds over prepared soil and lightly press them into the surface, as poppies need light to germinate.
   • Do not cover the seeds with soil.
   • Space seeds about 6–12 inches apart to accommodate their mature size.

Germination:

• Time: 10–14 days
• Optimal Conditions: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.

Transplanting:

• Poppies do not transplant well due to their delicate taproots. It's best to sow them directly in their final growing location.
