Sowing -Transplant (recommended) - Sow 6-8 weeks before transplanting out. Cover seeds very lightly, top with vermiculite. Bottom water or mist to avoid covering the seed with displaced soil. Direct seed - Sow in early spring when soil is cool and a light frost is still possible, or late autumn. Surface-sow and keep soil evenly moist until seedlings emerge. Pinching plants is not necessary nor beneficial. Iceland poppies perform best in cooler conditions. Bloom production and quality declines as temperatures rise.
