I just placed my seed order from Pinetree (superseeds.com) Mostly

In my flower garden I'm going to grow poisonous plants this year for the
foundation; so maybe the rabbits will leave them alone :-) Foxgloves,
nicotiana, and opium poppies. Do I need to plant the poppies as soon as
the ground surface thaws a little? I seem to recall that they need a
few freeze/thaw cycles to germinate well, but that might be a different
kind of poppy. Can they be transplanted?

Not sure where you are in the world, but if you're in the US, please be advised
that opium poppy seeds are legal, but the plants are not. On the theory that
you, too, can prevent lawyers, it may be best to find a different species.

No poppy really seems to take to transplanting.
