Planting and Growing Instructions

• Days to Maturity: 60-90 days

• Planting Depth: 1/8 inch (lightly press into soil; do not bury deeply as light aids germination)

• Plant Spacing: 6-12 inches apart for optimal growth and air circulation

• Days to Germination: 7-14 days under optimal conditions

• Sun Requirements: Full sun is best, but Red Corn Poppies tolerate partial shade.

• Direct Sowing vs. Starting Indoors:

• Direct Sowing: Recommended for best results. Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late fall (for natural cold stratification) as poppies prefer to germinate in cool soil.

• Indoor Starting: If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots 6-8 weeks before the last frost to avoid disturbing roots during transplanting.

Care Tips for Red Corn Poppy Plants

• Soil Requirements: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil; tolerate poor soil conditions.

• Watering Needs: Drought-tolerant once established; water moderately to avoid overly wet soil.

• Growth Habit: Red Corn Poppies grow 12-24 inches tall and bloom from late spring to early summer, creating a vibrant, low-maintenance display.

• Seasonal Care: Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering or let seeds ripen for self-seeding in naturalized areas.
