TIPS FOR GROWING POPPIES:
|
|
- Plant Oriental poppies in full sun in well-drained soil.
- Cut the stems back to the ground once finished.
- Poppies don't like to be transplanted, so plant them directly where they are to grow.
- Allow pods to seed and save them for next years planting or trade with a neighbor for other varieties. If you let the seeds drop naturally, they will overwinter, and the following spring they will come back stronger than ever.
- Plant bachelor buttons or babies breath with your poppies to avoid a bare patch once they have finished.
