Surface sow the fine seeds and barely cover, as they need light to germinate; mix with sand for even spreading. Keep at 15-20°C; germination takes 10-20 days. Thin seedlings to 20-25 cm spacing rather than transplanting. Sow in succession for a longer display. Flowering begins about 60-90 days after sowing through the cool season.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I sow poppy seeds in India?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow from October to December for flowers through the cool winter and spring.
