Double Carnation-Flowered Poppy 
Lovely Annual Poppies—Papaver ® 
Annual Poppies should be sown as early in the spring as possible where they are to grow 
as they do not stand transplanting. Sow very thinly and barely cover from view. Press 
down the surface and water. 
Thin out to stand 3 to 4 inches apart. 
Make succession 
sowings a week apart, to provide blooms throughout the summer and fall.
