Perennial

Oriental Poppies add old fashioned charm to gardens. These perennials establish well from seed in a sunny location in well drained soil. The silky, bowl shaped flowers appear in late spring and burst from distinctive buda covered with bristly hairs. The large, showy blossoms of this favorite perennial add a dramatic accent to beds, borders and cut flower arrangements. The crepe-like red, orange, pink, salmon and white flowers bloom in early summer. Many will feature inky, dark blotches at the base of the petals and colorful stamens in the center. They will produce pods that will drop seed for germination the following spring.

Full sun
Height - 23" - 27"

Poppies self sow freely. I don't understand unless they didn't get enough water.

mine didn't...but we did have a drought last year...but I bought 4 plants the year before and nothing...was really disappointed, but live and learn. Luckily, I have Rain Barrels on corners of home, otherwise, nothing would have been watered. Took 3 hours just to water the assorted flower gardens, my honey does the veggies in back - I have double rain barrels Stacked back there.

All I can think of is lack of water or ground cover (grass, weeds) where the seeds didn't hit the ground. Did they bloom well for you?
