QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • I’m in zone 7, I hear these poppies need a col stratification, true? Can I plant these seeds outside in mid January, like Oriental poppies?

    Hi there! Yes, these seeds do need to be cold stratified. When in doubt, you can always pop them in the fridge for a few weeks - otherwise, you can direct sow them when it's still chilly outside.
