Poppies are very easy to grow from seed. They are known for self-sowing and you may find them popping up all over in your garden.Poppies are frost tolerant and germinate in cool weather and cool soil.Poppy seeds like temps, 50- 65 degrees for germination and can be very slow if it is hot. With some varieties you may see seedlings in as little as 3 days. Others can take up to a month. Keep the soil moist at all times and do not allow them to dry out.
Poppies prefer well drained soil ammend it by digging in a couple of inches of compost.Sow seeds in early spring as soon as the ground can be worked. If you live in warm areas, zone 5 or higher you can sow in late fall, they will begin to grow early the following year. Poppies bloom profusely under cool growing conditions. Select a site in full sun, one that received at least 6 hours of direct sun daily. In warmer climates plants do best with some protective shade at midday. Poppies do best when sown directly into the area that you have chosen for them.Simply scatter the seed sparingly onto prepared garden soil. By sowing sparingly it will reduce the need to thin the plants later on. Once you have scattered the seed, walk on the area to firm the soil and 'set' the seed. Loose soil does not hold moisture. You do not want to cover the seed! Poppy seeds need light and oxygen for germination and your seeds may not germinate if they are buried.Water your poppy patch and keep the soil moist but not soggy until the seeds are well on their way.We recommend using a slug/snail bait. Slugs/snails can gobble up your seedlings in one night. Once the seedlings are 1 inch tall thin them to stand 6 to 10 inches apart.Your poppy plants will not do well if they are crammed together in a big lump. They must be thinned!
