Poppy plants should be planted as soon as possible in the early part of the year as soon as the ground is workable. In warmer climates where it never freezes, it might be best to plant them in the fall, or even in January or February. Frost does not damage these plants, and I have seen them to be even more frost resistant than lettuce. Temps can go into the upper 20's without injury. Poppys grow vegetatively in the spring and bloom in the early summer, then the seeds become ripe in the mid summer.. According to literature, they grow best in the temperature ranges of 60 to 70 degrees. Simply prepare a garden bed of good soil, which should be easy to work, drains well, but also still retains moisture but is not too soggy or too dry. They do not like clay soils or overly dry sandy soils, but a loam type soil. Mix in some cow manure and stir up and rake the soil. Also add some micronutrients such as ironite (iron/sulfer), garden lime (calcium) and epsom salts (magnesium) to help keep leaves green. You may use some fertilizer here and there at the different stages of growth, according to directions. Rake the soil to create a somewhat roughened surface, sprinkle the seeds on top, and then water the soil. Keep moist until they sprout up, then continue with normal watering and gardening cycles. The seeds should end up being lightly covered with some soil with this method. Poppys are some of the prettiest plants in the gardening world, both the annuals and the perennials varieties, and this variety can go good in an old fashioned cottage garden, or mixed with other complimentary annuals and perennials. *free shipping continental US
