🌱 Growing instructions

Sowing: The easiest and best method is to direct sow seeds outdoors in late fall or very early spring. Poppies do not transplant well and perform best when sown directly.
Depth: Press seeds into the surface of the soil, as they need light to germinate. Do not cover.
Spacing: Sow seeds about 6-12 inches apart.
Light Requirement: Full Sun.
Soil: Prefers average, well-draining soil.
Care: Deadheading is not necessary but can prolong the bloom period.
