SOW OUTDOORS March-May or August-October, thinly and directly into the flowering position, approximately 0.5cm/quarter-in deep. Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge and thin as necessary. Poppies dislike root disturbance and are best sown where they are to flower. Remove faded flowers to prolong the display or allow some seed heads to mature for natural self-seeding. Late sowings will flower earlier the following year.
