50 days to bloom 2 to 3' tall Gently Self-Sowing Annual Papaver somniferum

Endless petals of exquisite ivory unfurl like slow-motion fireworks all summer long! Poppies thrive in gardens as well as raised beds and containers, even in partial sun and marginal soil. A gently re-seeding annual, poppies often have a perennial presence in your garden, though establishing poppies from seed is often challenging. Frilled White poppy seeds came as a gift from our dear friends of Uprising Seeds in Washington nearly a decade ago; we have been in awe as we grow and save her seed to share each year since.

    I started these back in March but they started blooming a month ago. They already quit blooming. I pulled them out. I planted them in a deck planter. Maybe they do better in the ground? Disappointed because they are very beautiful.

      Lorraine, thanks for the feedback. Typically in the first year poppies have a later and shorter bloom period. Once they naturalize they will bloom earlier thereby giving you a longer blooming period. Though they typically will not bloom past July.

For cut flowers, here’s the trick: harvest them just as their bud is about to break and sear the stem with a lighter. The blossom will continue to open and intriguingly, since their access to water has been cut off, the petals will be about 80% as large and the colors will be that much more vivid and concentrated. Cut poppies don’t have the vase-life that zinnias or sunflowers do, but this technique helps them hold their petals many days longer. And like so many vegetables, herbs and flowers, the more you harvest the more your plants will produce!
