It is also better to directly sow poppies on the ground or container instead of starting them indoors. Transplanting is not recommended because of the poppy’s long and fast-growing taproots.
If you plan to keep the plant in a container, sow the seeds in a pot with a depth of at least 8-inches to accommodate the plant’s long roots.
When planting in soil, keep a depth of about 8-10 inches to maximize the growth of the plant. Keep the soil moist, but not wet, and the seedlings will emerge after 3-4 weeks. If starting from seed, sow your poppy seeds from March to May at a temperature of 50-65F (10-18☌), making sure that the seeds are 6 inches apart.
