Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Frosted Salmon poppies thrive in full sun and prefer moderately moist, loose, well-drained soil. While they are relatively drought-tolerant once established, providing them with regular watering during dry spells will ensure healthier blooms. The seed pods that follow the blooms are also highly decorative.
When to Grow
The best time to sow Frosted Salmon poppy seeds is in early spring or late fall. If sown in fall, the seeds can naturally stratify over winter, which improves germination rates in spring. Spring sowing should be done as soon as the soil can be worked. These poppies bloom best in cool weather and typically flower from early to mid-summer​.
How to Sow and Plant
Direct sow Frosted Salmon poppy seeds directly into the garden, as they do not transplant well due to their sensitive roots. Scatter the seeds on the soil surface just barely covering them, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist until seedlings appear, which usually takes 14-21 days. Space the plants about 8-10 inches apart to allow proper airflow and prevent overcrowding.
How to Grow
Once established, Frosted Salmon poppies are quite easy to care for. They thrive with minimal intervention, but providing compost or organic matter at planting can help them produce larger blooms. These poppies will self-seed if allowed to, ensuring that they return year after year without needing to be replanted. Slugs can be an issue, so monitor young plants closely​.
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
Can Frosted Salmon poppies be grown in containers?
Yes, they can be grown in large containers, as long as they have well-draining soil and access to full sun​.
How long do Frosted Salmon poppy blooms last?
The flowers are relatively short-lived, lasting only 2-3 days once they fully open. However, they produce continuous blooms over a period of weeks, followed by decorative seed pods that can last much longer
Will Frosted Salmon poppy reseed?
Yes, they are self-seeding, meaning they will naturally spread and return in future growing seasons if the seed pods are left intact​.
