Midrashist, did you try the Poppy forum? The only advice I can give you about Poppy culture, is just don't let their feet sit in damp soil. Every year I lose 1 or 2 young ones if we have a very wet spring. They hate being waterlogged. Raised or very sun baked beds are best.

Oh, I've had more success raising them from seed than buying garden plants. They don't take transplanting well. If you do buy plants, this is one case where younger is better.
