๐ค๏ธ Plan
Plant according to your climate and average rainfall. In colder regions, plant in spring or early summer after the last frost. In mild climates, plant fall through spring to take advantage of winter rainfall. Choose a sunny location, clear the area of weeds or grass, loosen the soil, and rake smooth. Adding compost or well-aged organic matter can help encourage fuller blooms.
๐ฑ Plant
Each Red Poppy Seed Bomb contains approximately 20โ25 seeds. Gently press each seed bomb halfway into the soil so the bottom is seated and the top remains visible. Do not fully bury.
Each seed bomb can cover up to 1 square foot for a meadow look, or use 2โ3 per square foot for a fuller, denser display.
๐ผ Grow
Water daily to keep soil moist (not soggy) until seedlings reach about 4โ6 inches tall. Once established, red poppies tolerate moderate drought and thrive with minimal care. Germination typically occurs within 14โ21 days, with blooms appearing 40โ70 days after germination.
