Growing Tips for Your Poppy Swansdown Seeds:

Direct sow in late fall or in spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Surface sow, just barely covering the seeds, as they need light to germinate.

Choose a location with full sun and rich soil with moderate moisture. Poppies grow best in cool, early spring conditions. Space plants 8-10 inches apart. Once established, they are generally frost hardy.
