Here are the poppies I added to my garden last year. Papaver rhoeas---Falling in Love mix. I loved that name, "Falling in Love" so I purchased these seeds from Territorial seeds last year. I actually started the seeds indoors before transplanting outside, and I had great success with it. My question is, re: annual poppies that will "self-sow". I deadheaded and cleaned up the bed last year.......are the seeds only present in the seedpods (which I deadheaded).....or were they dispersed onto the ground?. I let them go pretty long before I did anything with them. Will I have a repeat patch of poppies in this location this year? Or do you think I need to plant new ones there? How does the self sowing with poppies work?

Thanks!
