Poppy Planting Guide

Poppy 🌺

1. Choose a Planting Location:
Poppies prefer full sun 🌞 and grow best in well-drained, slightly alkaline soil.

2. Prepare the Soil:
Light, well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5 works best for poppies 🌾. You can mix in some sand to improve drainage if the soil is heavy.

3. Planting Instructions:
Sow seeds on the surface of the soil, pressing them gently in but not covering them with soil 🌍. Space them 6-12 inches apart.

4. Watering Requirements:
Poppies are drought-tolerant once established 💧. Water them regularly during the germination phase, but reduce watering once they are established.

5. Germination Time:
Poppy seeds typically germinate in 10-20 days ⏳.

6. Ongoing Care:
Poppies need little care once established. Cut back dead flowers to encourage more blooms 🌺.
