FAQs

How do I sow Californian poppy seeds?

Sow seeds directly outdoors where they are to flower from March to May, or again in late summer for flowers the following year. Sow around 0.5cm deep in well-drained soil, thin seedlings to about 15cm apart, and keep lightly watered until established.

Do Californian poppies come back every year?

Although they are technically hardy annuals, Californian poppies often self-seed freely, meaning new plants can appear the following year if you allow some flowers to set seed.

Where is the best place to grow Californian poppies?

These plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, and they’re particularly suited to dry, sunny spots where many flowers struggle. Their drought tolerance makes them perfect for borders, gravel gardens and containers.
