Keep the soil consistently moist until germination. For indoor starts, sow 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant seedlings after the danger of frost has passed. Oriental poppies prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, they are relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage reblooming and prevent self-seeding if desired. In late summer, foliage may die back; this is normal. Avoid disturbing the roots once planted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Oriental Poppy Seeds – Princess Victoria Louise\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776127566134,"sku":"FOLIA-229","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7350323021_ncsp.jpg?v=1792467996","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-oriental-poppy-seeds-princess-victoria-louise-pink-perennial-blooms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
