I have lots of lovely poppies blooming right now but I’m afraid of the area looking very brown and drab when their bloom is over. What can I plant with them that will give me yeararound flowers that look good in height, spacing, and color?

Thank you,
Anna

Your best bet is to collect the seeds and sprinkle them where you’d like them. Good luck!

The seedlings have come up and continue to grow very slowly (we are experiencing a mild season so far), but there is no sign of the stem or bud. Does this mean that they will not flower at this point?

They have 3-5 that are opened and so many more to pop yet. I would love to reseed them but would like them in a different area. How should I go about doing this?
Thanks for any advice!
Tammy

Typically poppies bloom in late-spring and early-summer. Here’s more information from Colorado State University Extension http://www.colostate.edu/Dept/CoopExt/4DMG/Whats/2003popy.htm Good luck!

I planted some seeds this past September or early October. But all I did was throw out about 10oz of seeds all around my flower garden areas. Thank You.

Lyssa, Sorry for the delay in responding. I just found your comment. Poppies spread by seeds. The best way to prevent them from seeding is to cut off the flowers before they die and spread more seeds. Good luck and thanks for visiting.

Do they spread by seed, roots, or both. If it is by root, how can I keep them contained, please? Thank you

Hi Shehen: Poppies tend to like cooler temperatures. If you’re growing Iceland Poppies in hot, humid climates, you probably would treat it as an annual, according to this seed company. http://www.oscseeds.com/ecommerce/-perennials—biennials-/-poppies-/-iceland–poppy–papaver-nudicale-/Giant-Mixed-Iceland-Poppy.htm Good luck and thanks for visiting Seasonal Wisdom.
