🌿 Growing Instructions (Care Guide)
Watering
- Keep soil lightly moist during germination and early growth
- Once established, water sparingly — poppies prefer dry conditions
- Avoid overhead watering during flowering to protect delicate petals
- Do not allow soil to become waterlogged
General Care
- Choose a sunny, open position for best colour and bloom density
- Avoid rich fertilisers — poppies thrive in lean, low‑nutrient soils
- Allow spent blooms to drop seed if you want naturalised drifts
- Protect young seedlings from heavy rain or strong winds
🛠️ Maintenance Guide
- Do not transplant mature seedlings, sow direct where possible
- Thin seedlings early to prevent overcrowding
- Deadhead for a tidier look, or leave seed pods to self‑seed naturally
- Reduce watering once plants are established
- Cut back dry stems at the end of the season
