The Oriental poppy loves the sun, so choose the sunniest possible spot for it in the garden. The soil should ideally be loamy and above all very well-draining, because the plant absolutely cannot stand winter and spring waterlogging. In heavy and wet soils, its fleshy roots can rot. The poppy does not like transplanting, so pick a permanent location for it the first time. If you are considering growing it in a pot, choose a sufficiently deep container with large drainage holes and put a thick layer of drainage at the bottom so the roots do not stand in water.
Once the seedling takes root, it does not require any complicated care and watering should be rather moderate. During the spring, you can fertilize the poppy with a regular perennial fertilizer so it has enough strength to form flowers. Shortly after flowering in May and June, a typical thing happens for the poppy – its leaves begin to turn yellow and the plant retreats underground. It rests through the hottest summer. You can elegantly solve the empty spot in the flowerbed by planting perennials that sprout a bit later in close proximity. Follow a few basic rules when growing:
Plant the seedlings at a distance of 50 centimeters from each other (roughly 4 to 5 plants per square meter).
After flowering, cut off the dead leaves, keeping the bed clean and supporting the plant's vitality.
Do not overwater the soil; the plant is well adapted to occasional drought.
A great advantage is that it does not suffer from any common diseases. The only enemy is the field vole, which often finds the fleshy roots tasty. As for frost resistance, you don't need to worry at all. The plant can handle extreme frosts down to minus forty degrees, so it requires no winter covering.

Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
