Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Lilac PomPom poppy thrives in moderately rich, loose, well-drained soil and full sun. It's relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate some drought. It performs best when grown in cooler conditions, as too much heat can cause early wilting. Deadheading spent flowers can help extend the blooming period.
When to Grow
Lilac PomPom poppies can be sown in early spring or fall, depending on your region. In colder areas (USDA zones 3-8), sow the seeds in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. In milder climates, fall sowing is also an option, allowing the seeds to overwinter and sprout as temperatures warm. Always check your local frost dates to plan the ideal planting time.
How to Sow and Plant
Poppy seeds are tiny and should be surface-sown—scatter them lightly on the soil surface just barely covering them, as they require light for germination. They germinate in 14-21 days. Thin plants 8-10 inches apart once seedlings emerge​.
How to Grow
Lilac PomPom poppies are best sown directly in the garden since they dislike being transplanted due to their sensitive taproots. They typically grow 3-4 feet tall and require full sun. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot. Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and keep weeds down​.
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.
- Save seed over winter in a cool, dark, dry place.
FAQ
Do Lilac PomPom poppies need full sun?
Yes, they prefer full sun for large and vibrant blooms.
Are Lilac PomPom poppies annual or perennial?
They are typically grown as annuals, though they will self-seed and return to the garden year after year​.
Can Lilac PomPom poppies be grown in pots?
Yes, but ensure the pots have good drainage and are placed in a sunny spot​.
