How to Plant Corn Poppies from Seed

  • Outdoors: Sow seeds in early spring as soon as the soil is workable or in fall for blooms the following year.
  • Indoors: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost if you prefer to transplant them later.
  • No special treatment is required; Corn Poppy seeds germinate easily.

(recommended)

  1. Choose a well-drained, sunny location.
  2. Scatter seeds directly on the soil surface and gently press them in (do not cover deeply, as they need light to germinate).
  3. Water lightly to keep the soil moist until germination.
  4. Expect seedlings to emerge within 7-14 days.
  5. Thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart once they develop true leaves.
  1. Fill seed trays with moist, well-draining seed-starting mix.
  2. Scatter seeds on the surface and lightly press them into the soil.
  3. Keep trays at a temperature of 60-70°F.
  4. Provide bright indirect light or use grow lights.
  5. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 6-12 inches apart.

Pro Tip

Corn poppies thrive on neglect—too much fertilizer or water will reduce blooms. Give them full sun, well-drained soil, and minimal watering for the best display. Deadhead spent flowers to extend blooming, or let them self-seed for a naturalized look next season!
