💜Papaver Paeoniflorum ‘Black Peony’ Poppy Seeds Grow and Care Instructions💜

Sow direct in spring and early summer for flowers this year. Dislikes root disturbance so it's best to sow where you want these poppies to flower. Seeds are tiny so do not cover them because they need light to germinate.

Choose the site. Poppies can handle partial sun to full sun. For the best results, choose a planting site with at least six hours of full sun per day.

Prepare the soil bed. Poppies can handle poor, infertile soil, they grow best in soil rich in organic matter.

Sow the poppy seeds. Poppy seeds prefer access to sunlight to germinate, so you don’t need to bury them beneath the soil. Instead, sow seeds by sprinkling them in across the flower bed. Next, sprinkle a light layer of soil over the top of the seeds, or simply press down on the seeds to embed them into the soil. Take care when watering to prevent the seeds being washed away.

Water. While poppies can handle drought, watering the soil thoroughly once a week can help the flowers thrive and encourage more blooms.

Weed. To prevent other plants from coming in and competing for water and nutrients, keep your poppy bed weed-free.

Deadhead. If you want to encourage more blooms in your poppy bed, use a process called “deadheading,” in which you remove old blooms to encourage new growth—when a bloom begins to wilt or fade, trim the flower back to the first leafed stem. However, don’t deadhead every bloom—if you allow some of the flowers to go to seed, they’ll naturally seed the bed for new growth the following season.
