Hungarian Blue Breadseed Poppy

Papaver somniferm. Poppies do best if planted directly outdoors in their intended location rather than transplanting them. However, if necessary, they can be started in biodegradable peat pots indoors before the last spring frost. The entire peat pot can then be planted outdoors once the poppy seedlings are established.

In growing zones 3 – 7, seeds can be planted in late autumn or early spring when a light frost is still possible.

In zones 8 – 10, these poppy seeds should be sown in late autumn or winter.
