Sowing instructions Outdoor
sowing from spring to the beginning of summer or in autumn for flowering in the next year. Sow directly at the flower site. Prepare the soil well before sowing and rake it into a fine crumb. Sow the seeds 1 – 2 cm deep, with a row spacing of 30 cm.

Care instructions
This plant prefers a sunny spot, in well-drained soil, but will thrive in most locations and soils. When the seedlings are large enough to touch, they are thinned to a distance of 30 cm. Autumn sowings bloom at the beginning of summer in the following year. Staggered sowing until spring extends the flowering period.

ATTENTION
All types of poppy are poisonous!
