Description

Field Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is an annual garden plant for garden borders and beds. Give plants full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil as they establish.

Prepare a seed-starting area and sow when conditions reach the recommended germination range. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy.
