Planting & Care

Sow seeds outdoors in early spring or fall, barely covering them with soil as they need light to germinate. 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.
