Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Cream Peony poppies are annuals that grow well in full sun. They prefer moderately rich, loose, and well-drained soil, reaching heights of 3 to 4 feet, painting the landscape with large dollops of cream that sway in the breeze.
When to Grow
For best results, sow Cream Peony poppy seeds in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. In warmer climates, they can also be sown in the fall to overwinter and bloom early in spring. These poppies prefer cool weather for germination and early growth, the ideal temperature is 60-65 F.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow the seeds directly on the soil surface without covering them, as they need light to germinate. Press the seeds gently into the soil and keep them moist until they sprout, typically within 14-21 days. Once the seedlings appear, thin them to about 8-10 inches apart.
How to Grow
Once established, Cream Peony poppies are drought-tolerant and require minimal maintenance. Water sparingly after the plants are established, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. These poppies are great for cut flowers and create attractive seed pods that can be used in dried arrangements.
How to Save
- Mostly self-pollinating; however, small flies and honeybees may cross-pollinate closely planted varieties.
- Often self-sows, but you can also harvest seeds when capsules turn brown and dry completely.
- Save seed over winter in a cool, dark, dry place.
FAQ
How long do Cream Peony poppies bloom?
Each bloom lasts about 3-8 days, but deadheading can extend the blooming period throughout the season.
Do Cream Peony poppies attract pollinators?
Yes, these poppies attract bees and butterflies, making them a great choice for pollinator-friendly gardens.
Can I grow Cream Peony poppies in containers?
Yes, they can be grown in containers as long as they have well-drained soil and full sun.
