Just saw this Erik,I seem to have better luck just direct sowing. The ones I've tried to pot-start have been the more temperamental Meconopsis, and they never did well around here. If you want a good book on Poppies look for "Poppies, The poppy family in the wild and in cultivation" by Christopher Grey-Wilson. Timber Press. ISBN 0 88192 503 9. Best of luck with your poppies. They come in so many variations. All of the following are just re-seeds and natural cross pollination.
