Planting & Care

Antique Shades Poppy seeds can be sown directly outdoors in fall or early spring. Prepare a weed-free seedbed with well-drained soil and scatter seeds thinly on the surface, pressing them gently into the soil; do not cover deeply as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge. Once established, thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow good air circulation. Water during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. These poppies prefer cooler weather and may decline in intense summer heat, but they often self-sow for future seasons.
