How to Plant and Care for California Poppy Seeds – Thai Silk Apricot
Starting Seeds
Sow California Poppy Seeds – Thai Silk Apricot directly outdoors in early spring, after the danger of frost has passed. Sprinkle the tiny seeds lightly on the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate, which usually occurs within 10-14 days.
Soil and Sunlight
Plant in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil, and choose a location that receives full sun for at least 6 hours per day. California Poppies thrive in dry conditions, so avoid overly rich or moist soils, which can lead to poor growth.
Watering
Once established, California Poppy Seeds – Thai Silk Apricot require very little water. Water the plants occasionally during dry spells, but they are highly drought-tolerant and thrive with minimal care. Avoid overwatering, as these poppies prefer drier soil.
Temperature and Care
California Poppies thrive in temperatures between 55-75°F (13-24°C). They are cool-season plants and will flower best in spring and early summer. In regions with hot summers, they may go dormant in the heat but will bounce back when the weather cools.
Fertilizing
California Poppies do not require frequent fertilizing. If desired, you can apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring when planting to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can result in excessive foliage and fewer blooms.
Harvesting
To enjoy Thai Silk Apricot California Poppies in arrangements or dried flowers, harvest the blooms when they are fully open. Cut the stems in the morning, when the flowers are freshest, and place them in a vase with water. These flowers can also be dried by hanging the stems upside down.
