Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: No specific preparation required, but scarifying (lightly scratching) the seed coat or soaking seeds in water overnight can help improve germination rates.

Sowing:

Scatter seeds directly onto the soil surface in the desired planting area. Press them lightly into the soil or cover them with a thin layer of soil, as poppy seeds require light to germinate.

Germination:

Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days under optimal conditions of soil moisture and temperature (around 60-70 °F).

Transplanting:

Poppy seeds do not transplant well due to their delicate taproot system. Therefore, it's best to sow them directly into the final growing location.

Care and Maintenance:

Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period. Once established, poppies are relatively low maintenance. Water during dry periods, but avoid overwatering as this can cause root rot. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming. In colder climates, mulch around plants to protect them during winter months.

Happy gardening!
