      HOW TO PLANT POPPIES

      Stratification is the act of simulating winter conditions — cold and moist — to prep seeds for their usual germination temperatures come spring.

      All poppy seed varieties require cold-stratification and, because the sensitive seedlings do not always transplant well, they are best sown directly in the garden.

      Sowing from fall to very early spring allows the cold, wet weather to gradually break down the hard seed coat in time for the growing season.

      Seeds need light to germinate. Sprinkle them on the soil and leave uncovered. If it is windy you can lightly compress so they don’t blow away.

      If you get a late start, seeds can also be stratified by placing them in the refrigerator, usually in some kind of moist potting soil.

      Blend seed and seed starting mix in a 1:3 ratio in a plastic bag or a small container like a margarine tub and put them in your refrigerator.

      Keep them refrigerated for several weeks before planting in the garden. Plant immediately when removing from the refrigerator.
