How to Care for Poppies

As is the case with any plant, poppies have their own set of care requirements that ensure they will thrive. Whether you’re growing them in containers or outdoors, you should adhere to these standards.

Light

Since poppies need sunlight to germinate and because they can’t withstand constantly moist conditions, Funk says the plant should be kept in an area that gets full sun. Make sure your poppies are positioned somewhere the sun is hitting them for about six hours a day.

Soil

“Most poppies come from drier parts of the world, so good drainage is essential,” says Kelly D. Norris, a horticulturist and the author of New Naturalism. “That said, poppies are also doggedly adaptable to a variety of soils, including gravel, sand, and clay.”

For optimal conditions, Funk recommends planting the poppies in organically rich, medium moisture, well-drained loamy soil.

Water

While poppies need frequent watering when they’re germinating, this can be scaled back once growth begins. “Poppies need limited watering once they have settled into their location,” says Funk. “If you give them too much water, they can become tall and leggy.” About once a week should be efficient, but you can put a finger in the soil to feel if there’s any moisture present. If the soil is damp, hold off on watering.

Fertilizer

Many plants need fertilizer to encourage growth, and poppies are no different. “Lightly fertilize with an all-purpose fertilizer until plants are fully mature and begin flower production,” Funk says. “Fertilize every two weeks during the first growing season.”

Once the first season has ended, you’ll only need to fertilize your poppy plants at the beginning and the end of the season, or as needed.
