Due to their origins at high levels,  Himalayan Poppies need almost the opposite growing conditions to other poppies that are very tolerant of long dry summers. They prefer cooler and far wetter condition - which of course makes it a good bet here in the UK, known know for its scorching summers! In fact Himalayan poppies are much easier to grower in the colder & wetter parts of the UK - I have not attempted to grow them yet here on the south coast. They like a moist rich and preferably acidic soil.


Germination Guide 
  • Sow in UK from December to April
  • "Stratify" the seeds - put in a sealed freezer bag in the salad tray of the fridge for 2 weeks before sowing
  • Use seed trays of well-draining compost - ideally a mix of  50% regular compost, 50% vermiculite (which I sell in the Accessories section of my eBay shop) 
  • Good drainage is particularly important as this seed is prone to damping off
  • Sow seeds spaced, pressing lightly into surface
  • Do not cover - seeds require light for germination
  • Place in a cold frame or sheltered spot
  • Frosts not an issue helps break seeds natural dormancy
  • Keep compost moist but not never waterlogged - use a fine rose to water so seeds not disturbed
  • Seed tray can be left outside to germinate naturally or after 6 weeks brought inside to "force" germination.
  • Either way, germination can be erratic but once seedlings 6 weeks old, pot on to individual pots.
  • After a further 6 weeks plant out into final flowering position - somewhere with rich moist soil.
