How to Plant Corn Poppies from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Outdoors: Sow seeds in early spring as soon as the soil is workable or in fall for blooms the following year.
  • Indoors: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost if you prefer to transplant them later.

Seed Preparation

  • No special treatment is required; Corn Poppy seeds germinate easily.

Sowing Seeds Outdoors

(recommended)

  1. Choose a well-drained, sunny location.
  2. Scatter seeds directly on the soil surface and gently press them in (do not cover deeply, as they need light to germinate).
  3. Water lightly to keep the soil moist until germination.
  4. Expect seedlings to emerge within 7-14 days.
  5. Thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart once they develop true leaves.

Starting Seeds Indoors

  1. Fill seed trays with moist, well-draining seed-starting mix.
  2. Scatter seeds on the surface and lightly press them into the soil.
  3. Keep trays at a temperature of 60-70°F.
  4. Provide bright indirect light or use grow lights.
  5. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 6-12 inches apart.

Pro Tip

Corn poppies thrive on neglect—too much fertilizer or water will reduce blooms. Give them full sun, well-drained soil, and minimal watering for the best display. Deadhead spent flowers to extend blooming, or let them self-seed for a naturalized look next season!

Getting to know your Corn Poppy

Corn Poppies are annual plants, completing their life cycle in one season. Typically grow between 12 to 30 inches tall, with slender, upright stems. The plants develop a bushy appearance with multiple flower stalks. Corn Poppy flowers are bright red with a dark black or purple center. Blooms measure around 2-4 inches in diameter. Blooms from late spring to early summer, lasting several weeks. Attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. If left to self-seed, they can return the following year naturally.
