At a Glance
- Variety:Poppy
Do well even in the poorest of soils.
Bright colours make them ideal gap fillers.
Californian poppies love the sun.
Sowing Time
March – May or August – October
Sowing Outdoors
Rake soil to provide a firm, even surface. Sow seeds thinly in pre-watered soil, lightly covering them with a little more soil. Sowings made in semi circular lines create a natural ‘drift’ effect. Keep moist until seedlings appear and as required in dry spells.
Thinning
When large enough to handle, thin seedlings to allow their development and to prevent overcrowding.
Flowering Time
June – September
