Description

For naturalized plantings, Corn Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) grows well in full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil. It follows an annual growth cycle with steady early care.

Use the recommended germination range to guide seed starting, and sow at the recommended depth for the crop. Keep the soil evenly moist while seedlings establish, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy.
