How To Grow
GROWER TIP: Poppies bloom in the cooler temperatures of late Spring and early Summer. With this said, start the seed outdoors a few weeks before the last frost as they need a bit of stratification before the temperatures warm up. They look best in the masses, so spread a few seeds within every square foot.
