TIPS FOR GROWING POPPIES:

Plant Oriental poppies in full sun in well-drained soil.

Cut the stems back to the ground once finished.

Allow pods to self seed, save them for next years planting or trade with a neighbor for other varieties.

Plant bachelor buttons or babies breath with your poppies to avoid a bare patch once they have finished.
