How to Grow Black Swan Poppies from Seeds
- Direct Sow in Early Spring or Fall – Poppies prefer direct seeding rather than transplanting. Sow seeds after the last frost or in late fall for early blooms.
- Surface Sow Lightly – Scatter seeds directly onto the soil and gently press down—do not cover, as poppy seeds need light to germinate.
- Keep Soil Moist Until Germination – Once seedlings appear, reduce watering to prevent rot.
- Thin Seedlings – Space them 6-12 inches apart to allow proper airflow and growth.
