- Plant seed directly outdoors early through mid-spring in a sunny location with well-drained soil.
- Cultivate soil, mix seeds with cup of sand or soil and broadcast lightly over planting area.
- Lightly rake into soil or cover lightly to a depth of 1/8 inch.
- Can be sown in the autumn in mild winter areas (they will self seed and survive the winter more than adequately by themselves).
- Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
- When plants are about 2 inches tall, thin 8 to 12 inches apart to get the best display.
- Poppies do not transplant well.
- Avoid over-watering once plants are established.
- Remove or cut off old flower bases for continued flowering throughout summer.
- Plants will self-sow if left to their own devices.
- California poppies thrive on a certain amount of neglect.
