They Hate Being Transplanted And Prefer Cool Temps. The Best Times To Start Growing Poppies And Plant Seeds Is Either Early Fall, Early Spring, Or Both (Depending On How Mild Your Winters Are. PART 2: https://www.organicalbotanicals.com/tutorial-how-to-grow-somniferum-poppies/Part-2/ : Planting In Fall Will Result In Earlier Blooms The Following Spring, Whereas Planting In Spring Will Result In Summer Blooms. Alternately, You Can Plant Half Your Seeds In The Fall, And Half In The Spring, But If You Get A Lot Of Snow In Your Area, They’ll Die. PART 3: https://www.organicalbotanicals.com/tutorial-how-to-grow-somniferum-poppies/Part-3/ : They Prefer Temperatures To Be Between 35º And 65º Degrees (F) For Germination. But Can Withstand Warmer Temps When Mature. If You Feel Like It May Be Too Late Or Too Hot To Plant In Your Area, I Have Tricks That Work. PART 4: https://www.organicalbotanicals.com/tutorial-how-to-grow-somniferum-poppies/Part-4/ : **** Secret : Since Poppy Seeds need light to germinate, use Ice Cubes for watering if you live in a Warmer climate. Just throw a thin layer of crushed ice right on top of your seeds. This will water them, cool down the ground around the seeds, and allow Light through all at once. Then once they start to sprout, Place ice around the Sprouts to allow room for growth. You can also make Sheets of Ice and place them over a pot of soil, covering the entire pot. See our full Tutorial on this here: https://www.organicalbotanicals.com/planting-papaver-somniferum-poppies-late-season-or-hot-weather/ Inside or Outside (for germination)??: I try not to encourage starting indoors unless u absolutely have no other choice, because it can take them an additional 2 weeks for them to Acclimate to the Outdoor environment, at which point their Growth will be stunted. **** Storing Seeds : If harvested directly from pod, u need to dry them first until their Moisture level is around 18% - Then they'll be ready for storage. Use Paper Bag - at room Temp, they can be viable for up to 3 years. You can also refrigerate them for up to 5-10 years. PART 5: https://www.organicalbotanicals.com/tutorial-how-to-grow-somniferum-poppies/Part-5/ : Or, if you Freeze them, they will last indefinitely, but you can't take them out until right before u plant, otherwise they'll self-germinate. If you must store them in Plastic baggies, add some "Sorbent" Packets like the kind u find in other food packaging: **** Secret: If you can't find those, you can simply add Salt to the bag of Seeds (as it will not harm them) and will only retain moisture when planted and will also act as a Slug repellent
