Default Poppies ?

Any advice re growing poppies ? NO not the naughty ones. I am in zone 6 and
have always admired the delicacy of this flower.


In zone 6 you'll want to plant in the late fall or early winter. Just sprinkle
them on the ground.. An old salt shaker is a really good planter. If you have
ants anywhere nearby, you'll want to mix a little ant poison in with the seeds
because they little *******s will walk off with half your seeds if you don't. No
need to cover the seeds, just keep them damp for the first couple weeks.
