Growing Instructions:
White Cloud Poppies thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. They are best suited to cooler climates but can be grown successfully in warmer areas with some afternoon shade. These poppies are drought-tolerant once established, making them a low-maintenance choice for any garden.
Seed Starting Indoors:
For an early start, sow White Cloud Poppy seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Fill seed trays or small pots with a light, well-draining seed starting mix. Sprinkle the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, as they require light to germinate. Mist the soil gently with water to keep it moist but not soggy.
Place the trays or pots in a bright location with a temperature between 60-65°F (15-18°C). Germination typically occurs within 10-20 days. Once the seedlings have developed their first true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots. Harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions for 7-10 days before planting them in the garden.
Cold Stratification:
To improve germination rates, cold stratify White Cloud Poppy seeds before sowing. Place the seeds in a resealable plastic bag with a small amount of damp sand or vermiculite. Seal the bag and store it in the refrigerator for 2-4 weeks. After stratification, sow the seeds directly in the garden or start them indoors as described above.
Bring a touch of cloud-like beauty to your garden with White Cloud Poppy, and enjoy the enchanting blooms all season long!
