When you want excitement in June, consider Poppies, whose ruffled and shimmering petals pack more pigment than you can imagine. Plants Poppies in groups in a sunny, well-drained position and match them with summer bloomers or annuals that spread out and will conceal their early dormancy.
The best times to start growing poppies and plant seeds is either early fall, or in the first part of March. Planting in Fall will result in earlier blooms the following Spring, whereas planting in Spring will result in Summer blooms. Alternately, you can plant half your seeds in the Fall, and half in the Spring. Although the optimal germination temperature is about 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the seeds will germinate at warmer temperatures, but they germinate best when planted in cool to cold soil, the warming soil will trigger germination.
Do not start papaver types in warm to hot weather. Germination will be poor and plants may not grow, start them in late fall to early spring.
To plant, simply cast seeds directly on top of loose, moist soil. Press seeds lightly into soil, but do not cover them more than the thickness of the seed.
