Direct seed in May when soil is still cool, 1/8" deep, and thin to 6" apart in average soil and full sun. Magically, you have flowers all summer. Poppies self-seed readily. Select for the plants you want to propagate by removing immature seed pods of the plants you don’t want to keep. Harvest ripe seed pods when the pod cap pops open. Empty seeds into jar or keep them in the pods. Store in cool, dry spot out of sun.
