The seeds for the Red Poppy are very small, and only need to be planted as deep as they are wide. Often success can be found by scattering the seeds on top of loose garden soil and watering them in.
Planting Information: Seeds should be direct sown as poppies do not transplant well. Scatter seeds and rake in lightly. When 2” tall, thin to 1 every 8”. In climates with mild winters, sow seeds in the fall for spring blooms. Keep seeds and seedlings moist but not water-logged until established, and reduce watering. While poppies are drought tolerant in general, an occasional soaking can boost blooming.
