I love Poppies!
This spring we are making a new flower bed just for my Poppies. We rarely used our big fire pit so we have filled it with dirt and are planting Poppies in it.
I have started over 20 different Poppies from seed so this should be fun! Please bare with me as this is work in progress until some of the Poppies bloom.
Transplanting Poppies – My Experience.
I transplanted my Poppy plants outside in the Spring when they were still very small. Most of them survived just fine. The well established Oriental Poppies that I moved around in my flower beds barely survived. Hopefully they will do better for me the next season. A few of the Poppy plants that I purchased from local Garden Centres survived okay but didn’t produce flowers their first year.
To enjoy your Poppies in a bouquet cut them just before they open and singe the bottom of the stem with a burning candle.
