GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
These seeds are easy to start directly in the garden after the last frost. Scatter them on top of the soil and gently rake them in. Poppies prefer full sun and well-draining soil. Thin the seedlings to about 6-12 inches apart once they have a few sets of true leaves. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the summer. If you're looking to harvest seed pods for baking or future plantings, leave a few blooms to mature and dry on the plant.
