How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost or start indoors 4–6 weeks before.

Plant seeds about 1/8 inch deep in well-draining soil with consistent moisture until germination (about 10–15 days).

Space seedlings appropriately once established and avoid disturbing roots.

How to Grow

Place plants where they receive full sun and ensure soil is well-drained.

Water regularly but avoid overwatering, as California poppies prefer drier conditions once established.

Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further bloom and maintain tidy plant appearance.

Tips

Direct sow is preferred — California poppies do not transplant well.

Choose a sunny site with good drainage.

Thin young seedlings to proper spacing to promote strong growth.
