Planting & Care

Sow California Purple Gleam Poppy seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall, as they resent transplanting. Scatter seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them in; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 10-15 days. Once established, water sparingly and allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

These poppies thrive in poor to average soil and require little fertilizer. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage prolonged blooming, or allow some flowers to go to seed for self-sowing. In mild climates, they may reseed and return each year.
