Growing Information

Days to germination

About 7–12 days at 65–75°F (18–24°C).

Starting indoors

Sow into 128-cell or other small cells 6–8 weeks before planting out, barely covering the seed. Water from below or with a fine mist so seed and mix are not washed around. Harden off and plant outdoors, or plant straight into a tunnel or greenhouse.

Direct sowing

Sow on the surface in early spring, fall or winter and keep evenly moist until seedlings appear.

Climate

Iceland poppies like it cool, under about 70°F (21°C); the number and quality of flowers drop as it warms up. No pinching is needed.

Light

Full sun to part shade.

Plant spacing

6–12".

Hardiness

Zones 4–9; annual or short-lived perennial depending on conditions, and it self-sows readily. Outdoors it blooms from late spring into summer in the North, and from early spring to early summer in warmer areas.

Vase life

5–7 days.

Harvest

Cut when buds have just cracked open to show color but before the petals unfold, and put them in clean water.

Soil

Moist soil that drains well.

Uses

Cut flowers; beds, borders, mass plantings and containers.

Packet

100 seeds.
