Poppies are easy to grow in most areas, even to the point of becoming weeds under certain conditions. They can either be planted in their own bed, or scattered around in a wildflower garden. Most types prefer a sunny location and the taller varieties need to be sheltered from the wind. To sow them, prepare the soil so it is a fine texture and enrich the soil with compost. Keep the soil moist until germination occurs and as needed after this. Alternatively, you could raise them in punnets and transplant them, but they are less successful this way. The usual planting time is late summer and in autumn, although this would be different in very cold areas.
