Poppy Planting
This season I'm going to try my hand at Poppies. I've got both
California poppies and a variety called Pizzicato. Is now a good time to plant them for gardeners in Zone 9, Northern California? Any special advice on proper planting? Are they likely to flower the first year, or should I not expect blooms until next season? Thanks! |
Poppy Planting
Now would be a good time - late last fall would have been even better. The
trick is you want them to bloom before the onset of really hot weather, and they need about 2-2 1/2 months of growing time before they bloom after germination. So it all depends on when the hot weather hits your area (which I would call highs consistently in the 80's). "Fleemo" wrote in message om... This season I'm going to try my hand at Poppies.
