occidentalis Posted March 3, 2006 Wait till the weather cools down and gets a bit wet. Our summer seems to have finally kicked in the last couple of weeks and looks to continue so I'd say it will be a few weeks until autumn planting time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VINS Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) hi all ! i am happy to write again here, and for a come back, what can be better than a poppy topic... i remember a long topic about the best time to plant a few time ago, surely in the archive now. but for european climate : the best time to plant poppy is february / march ( it can change depending on the weather and the place.) poppy germinate officially at 15 °c but i often notice a germination as soon as the temp goes up to 10°c. (and no matter if the nights are really hard ! the poppy seedlings can support the under zero temp) this frost resistance (during a germination stage) really surprised me. was i lucky ? poppy are famous for their resistance to hotness but they are not so resistant ! on the other hand they support ice at young stage and i never read it.
