Growing Tips

Pandora poppies are best grown in full sun and moderately rich, loose, well-drained soil. They thrive in cool weather and are easy to care for, making them ideal for gardeners looking for attractive, low-maintenance blooms. These poppies are great for cut flower arrangements due to their striking burgundy, pink, and rose blooms​.

When to Grow

Sow Pandora poppy seeds in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked or in late fall for blooms the following year. In warmer climates, fall sowing is recommended to allow the seeds to overwinter and germinate when temperatures rise​. Be sure to check your region's frost dates for precise timing.

How to Sow and Plant

Pandora poppy seeds are surface-sown, as they need light to germinate. Gently press the seeds into the soil just barely covering them. Seedlings usually emerge in 14-21 days. Thin them to 6-8 inches apart once they have a few leaves.

How to Grow

Once the seedlings are established, Pandora poppies require minimal care. They grow 15-25 inches tall and bloom within 55-65 days. They prefer full sun and slightly sandy or loamy soil. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage more blooms, although leaving the seed pods on will allow for reseeding.

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.
