Tips & Advice:
Sowing Outdoors
Where they are to flower. Rake soil to provide a firm, even surface. Sow seeds thinly in pre-watered soil and lightly cover with a very small amount of soil. Sowing in irregular drifts rather than in rows can give a more pleasing and natural effect. Keep soil moist until seedlings are established.
Thinning
When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to prevent overcrowding. Poppies rarely transplant successfully.
