Poppies come in a number of different varieties. Despite their delicate-looking petals and foliage, they hold up well throughout the season and will reseed themselves readily in subsequent years, once established. This makes them appear to be perennial flowers, despite being annuals in all but the warmest climates.
For example, Icelandic poppies come in many colors, including lovely pastel shades of lavender and pink and Shirley poppies are famously glowing red, but also come in a wide range of pastel colors from white to pink to pearly grey.
Planting poppies from seed may cause hybridizing and novel colors to form, similar to columbines, but this is not very common. We’re sharing how to properly plant poppy seeds, so you can have blossoming blooms.

Iceland poppies (also known as arctic poppies) prefer a affluent, wet, but well-drained soil, and don’t do well in climates where summers are balmy and moist. California poppies prefer a more sandy soil, and they reseed readily, so plant them where their golden orange colors will bring joy in delayed summer through early autumn, perhaps near late-blooming blue or purple flowers such as asters or mums. Shirley poppies have long-lived seeds that will germinate when disturbed (as opposed to being left alone in a wildflower meadow setting), so try placing them in beds where some weeding and soil amending happens regularly.
Keep in mind when choosing a planting location that most poppies are toxic to people, and to some animals, especially dogs.
How to Plant Poppy Seeds
Poppy seeds are very effortless to plant in spring or fall. You may want to exploit a bit more care in spring than in fall because there may be birds looking for food (early insects, worms, or grubs) that may disturb the planting area.

- Distribute the seeds. Using your hands, lightly scatter the seeds over the soil.
- Add a very slender layer of soil. Make sure you don’t add more than 1/8 inch of soil over the seeds, or simply press the seeds down into the loosened soil gently with your palm or the sole of your shoe.
- Don’t add too much soil. Covering them with too much soil may prevent them from germinating, so unless it is windy, you can opt to skip adding soil.
- Water very lightly. Make sure to water your seeds every day for a week to ten days.
