Perennials: really having bad luck getting poppies from seed, 1 by

My guess is the dirt you use, the depth your sowing them and enough moisture. Yes I do have a small green house, but I dont think it would matter where I did it. I have lavender grape, oriental reds and persian blue. Some I planted in 3" plastic pots.

edited to say: The best success I have germinating any seed is to prepare the dirt and bring it in the house and use the kitchen sink sprayer. It fluffs up the dirt more than a blasting hose or pouring water over the dirt.
