Create a dramatic cottage-garden display with The Giant Poppy Seeds. This spectacular ornamental poppy is prized for its very large, richly ruffled flowers held above graceful blue-green foliage.
The oversized blooms bring incredible texture and movement to flower beds, borders, meadow-style plantings, and romantic cottage gardens.

Growing Info
- When to Plant: Sow during cool weather in early spring, or fall in climates where winters are mild.
- Sowing: Poppies generally perform best when sown directly where they will grow because they dislike root disturbance.
- Planting Depth: Surface sow or cover only very lightly with fine soil.
- Germination: Keep the seedbed lightly and consistently moist until seedlings establish.
- Spacing: Thin seedlings to approximately 8–12 inches apart for healthy airflow and fuller plants.
- Sunlight: Choose a location receiving full sun.
- Soil: Loose, moderately fertile, well-draining garden soil is ideal.
- Watering: Water gently during establishment. Mature plants generally prefer moderate watering rather than continuously wet soil.
- Bloom Care: Removing faded flowers can keep the planting looking tidy, while allowing selected blooms to mature can provide ornamental seed heads.
