Frequently Asked Questions
How do I grow Peony poppies from seed?
Peony poppies (Papaver somniferum) prefer to be direct-sown in early spring or fall. Surface-sow the seeds as they require light to germinate, pressing them gently into the soil. Keep them moist until established and thin to 6-10 inches apart.
Are Peony poppies annuals or perennials?
Peony poppies are annuals. They complete their life cycle in one season but are excellent at self-seeding, often returning year after year if allowed to drop their seed pods.
