I'm not going to lie, I went back and re-watched this video because last year (2023) I completely failed at my poppies but this year I'm committed to being intentional!!! Last year I was only 3 weeks postpartum when I should have been doing the poppies so I'll chock it up to that.
We are in Zone 6a and our frost date is April 29. Poppies can take frost and very cold temperatures. You can add frost cloth but it's not necessary. This Fall (fall 2023) I'm going to test out doing a fall planting of poppies to see if they will endure through the winter and to see if we will get earlier blooms.
@@mapleleafbarn Thanks for replying. We are 5b, but it's Newfoundland and I can see the ocean from the garden so the weather is very unpredictable. Unless a frost cloth is supported with hoops, it just beats the plants to death in the wind (learned that one the hard way). I got a late start and my seedlings are still really small so I'm going to keep them in a more sheltered spot in pots for awhile. Next year, if I get started soon enough, I'll try putting them out earlier. It's good to know they are frost hardy. I hope they might self seed here, some things do.
Thumbs up for your effort. Did your plants bloom and survive the winter? I have Iceland Poppy plants volunteering throughout my walkways. They never want to grow where I want them. A number of years ago (at least a dozen maybe more) a family member asked for some seeds from poppies that were growing outside a rural church. I was given a lily that was potted up in the same soil that grew poppies. As I said, they are popping up everywhere except the garden plot! So in my mind, there is little need for special care or soil conditions, any treatment and they will hide until they are good and ready. Oh I have tried to transplant, but the taproot is too finicky. I am asking if they "took" being starters. It can be difficult to treat a meadow plant as a bedding plant.
These were planted in early spring and then pulled out after they were done blooming in early summer. We haven't overwintered any yet, but hopefully will have a high tunnel this fall to try over winter for earlier spring blooms.
I think it just depends on where you are growing. You can certainly try using a heat mat to speed up the process but they take about 90-100 days till maturity. Once temperatures are consistently in the 70's the flowers stop producing. For us, that's going to be mid-late May. I might just wait until next year and start the seeds in January or February.
@@mapleleafbarn im growing in UK, should i germinate indoors, how long do they take to germinate, sometimes they take about like 2 weeks before i notice them, if they don't germinate outside will they just lay dormate until the perfect conditions, i guess ill just keep throwing seeds down until may, hoping to get most of them flowered by june-july, got alot of big healthy plants already but, i want to try make them last as long as possible, maybe a new patch flowering each month, i have a few indoor poppies that are already flowering that i started in septemember
@@elliotwragg6938 How fun! I have friends over in the UK! What part are you located in? Although I've never done it, poppies should stay dormant and come back. I'm planning on testing out this fall. Since you're in the UK and I'm not as familiar with the growing information there you should check out Gemma with Green Rabbit Flowers in Cornwall. Her Instagram is @greenrabbitflowers
@@mapleleafbarn Thank you for your help it is much appreicated, i live in the east of the midlands, near the coast, i heard poppies love sandy soil was thinking about getting some, i will definitely check that channel out thanks have a great day!

Wow. I really like the way you covered this topic with dates, technique and results. Thanks!

The watering of the compost was giving very much ASMR and I’m here for it !
Okay good to know! More of that then!!!
This is a great video! I looked everywhere because I was clueless about how to start these and yours is the only one I found helpful. Thank you!
What zone are you in, and how does your planting out date compare to your last frost date? Thanks.

@@mapleleafbarn Thanks for the reply. That maybe a good plan to get that "early start."
Can u germinate Poppy’s this time of the month it’s still spring right?
