How to Plant and Care for California Poppy Seeds – Cream Swirl
Starting Seeds
Sow California Poppy Seeds – Cream Swirl directly outdoors in early spring or in the fall for the following spring bloom. The seeds require light to germinate, so simply scatter them on the soil’s surface and press them lightly. Ensure the soil is well-draining, and water gently to keep the seeds moist.
Transplanting Seedlings
Once the seedlings are large enough to handle and the danger of frost has passed, thin them out to space them 6-12 inches apart. California Poppies don’t mind poor soil and can tolerate dry conditions, so there is no need for excessive fertilization.
Watering
Water the seeds and seedlings lightly to encourage germination, but once the plants are established, California Poppies are very drought-tolerant and require minimal watering. Water only during dry spells, and ensure the soil drains well to avoid waterlogging.
Lighting
California Poppy Seeds – Cream Swirl need full sun to thrive, so choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. These poppies will bloom best when placed in an area with ample sunlight.
Temperature
These poppies prefer warm temperatures and will thrive in regions with mild, sunny climates. They can tolerate cooler temperatures but may not survive frost.
Fertilizing
California Poppies require little to no fertilization. Over-fertilizing can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Simply ensure they are planted in well-draining soil, and they will flourish with minimal care.
