How To Grow
GROWER TIP: Red poppies are early bloomers that prefer slightly cooler temperatures to grow and bloom. Between 60F and 75F is best. The seed is small and the plants look best when established by the masses. Surface sow by scattering a few seeds every 12". When watering, use a mist setting to prevent seeds from washing away.
