How to Grow:
Sow poppy seeds directly outdoors in full sun. Plant in early spring or fall in mild climates. Scatter seeds lightly over well-drained soil and press gently to ensure good soil contact; do not bury seeds deeply, as they require light to germinate. Water lightly until established. Once growing, poppies need little care and often reseed themselves naturally.

Bloom & Care Tips:
Deadhead to encourage extended blooms, or allow seed pods to mature for natural reseeding. In warmer regions, California poppies may act as short-lived perennials. Flanders poppies thrive as hardy annuals and can be planted again season after season.
