Planting Instructions:

1. Soil Preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Poppies thrive in poor to moderately fertile soil, so amending is usually not necessary.
2. Sowing: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall. Scatter the seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them down, but do not cover them with soil as they need light to germinate.
3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds germinate. Once established, water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
4. Spacing: Thin seedlings to about 6-12 inches apart to give them room to grow and ensure good air circulation.
5. Care: Poppies are relatively low-maintenance and do not require much care once established.
6. Fertilization: Generally, poppies do not require fertilization. However, a light application of balanced fertilizer in poor soil can be beneficial.

Growing Tips:

• Light Requirements: Poppies thrive in full sun and need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production.
• Pest Control: Poppies are relatively pest-free. However, monitor for common garden pests and treat them with appropriate methods if necessary.
• Mulching: Mulching is usually not necessary for poppies, but a light mulch can help retain soil moisture in very dry conditions.

Red Poppies will add a vibrant splash of color and timeless elegance to your garden. With this pack of 20 seeds, you can grow these beautiful and delicate flowers that will enhance any outdoor space with their striking red blooms and graceful charm.
