Planting & Care
Iceland Poppy seeds can be sown directly outdoors in early spring or started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-20 days at 60-70°F (15-21°C). Once seedlings have a few true leaves, thin them to the recommended spacing.
These poppies prefer cool weather and may struggle in extreme heat. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overhead watering to prevent disease. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade. Iceland Poppies are relatively pest-free and deer-resistant.
