I'm in Zone 7, and I've got about 8 oriental poppy plants on the way.

I also have some Oriental Red and Iceland seeds (both perennial), and I'd like to add them to the bed, but I worry that it's too late to sow. It's 58 here today, though...sure feels cold to me! The rest of the week should be a little warmer but just as rainy. What ever shall I do?

I've also got some annual seed: California and Shirley. Is there any way I can sow these now as well?

If not, I'd love to hear other suggestions for the bed...I've got quite a few Chinese Lantern plants (both kinds), and I may do some Irises. I need some low-growers for the outer edges. Full sun, of course!

Thanks!
