Tips for Planting and Growing Poppy

Poppies, the world's favorite wildflower and perennial glamour in the garden. There's no flower gardener who doesn't want the beauty of these fabulous flowers in their garden and they're remarkably easy to grow.

First, you need to know there are both annuals and perennials in this group. Annuals first, it's a deep red annual that's the most popular flower in the world since it's the one that goes by the common names of Flanders Poppy and the American Legion Poppy. It has those names because of World War One.

This famous wildflower is one of the easiest in the world to grow and you'll love it like everyone else does. The seed is tiny, and it prefers alkaline, not acid soils. That's the only requirement. Be sure your soil is not heavily acid and you'll have a flood of red poppies in early summer if you plant them in fall or spring.

If you do have heavily acid soil, add a little lime first, then simply scatter the seeds on the surface, and then press them in for good seed to soil contact. Don't cover them and then water.

If you want to make this your year of the poppy, choose Poppy Power, our exclusive seed mixture of eight different poppies, including the perennial Oriental poppy. It's one of our most popular mixes and you can plant just a patch or a whole border since you can buy our seeds in any quantity from a packet to a pound.
