How to Plant ORIENTAL POPPY Seeds
Sow seeds in peat pots or cell packs, press into soil but do not cover. Needs light to germinate. Kept at 65° F., germination is in 14-21 days. Can direct sow into prepared seed beds in rows, thin to 12-18 inches apart. Comments: Full sun. Prefers moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Provide regular water the first season, less water following years. Long-lived in cold winter climates, plants can thrive for decades. For bouquets: Cut stems in morning as flower petals unfold, sear cut end with match. Flowers followed by large ornamental pods filled with thousands of spicy, nutty-flavored edible seeds. Plants go dormant after bloom, foliage returns in fall and persists through winter. Place next to sprawling plants such as Baby's Breath, which fill gaps left behind by poppies. Divide infrequently, every 4-5 years in mid- to late summer. To propagate favorite plants: Lift, cut roots into 3-4 inch sections, plant 1 inch deep. Resists: Deer and rabbits. Attracts: Bees, birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
