Three different locations now I've tried to get a bed of Oriental poppies started - bed, raised bed, and container. Nothing has the passionate color of a poppy and it HURTS not to have them. Please, somebody, tell me step by step how to have good results for next year.
Start in fall or spring? Full sun, right? Mix sand in the soil? Is there a certain cultivar that is most vigorous? (I love the scarlets, oranges, and carmines best.) How much water? I have probably over-watered. Do they need to be sprayed? Fertilized?
Thank you for any help. I will send pictures if successful.
