Planting & Care

Sow California Thai Silk Apricot Poppy seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall, as they prefer cool soil to germinate. Scatter seeds lightly on the soil surface and press them in gently; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, then thin to the recommended spacing.

Once established, these poppies require minimal care. Water during prolonged dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or allow some flowers to go to seed for natural reseeding. Enjoy their delicate beauty in wildflower meadows, rock gardens, or mixed borders.
