Growing California Mission Bells Poppy
Indoor Sowing: Not Recommended.
Direct Sowing: Autumn, Winter and Early Spring.
- Poppies are best when they are grown from seed that is planted in autumn or winter, even in cold winter areas. They can also be sown in early spring, about a month before your last frost date.
- Poppies are difficult to transplant as the plants develop a taproot, so starting them indoors is not recommended.
- Choose a sunny spot with good drainage. Weed the area and rake to a fine tilth.
- Pour some poppy seeds into your hand and sprinkle them very thinly across the ground.
- Allow 7-30 days to germinate, depending on the variety, soil condition and growing temperatures. Keep the soil moist during germination.
- Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to around 30cm apart.
