I direct sowed Poppies,Larkspur and cosmose last fall,late.
This year I have hopes the larkspur reseeded. I collect the poppy seeds and re sow where I want them. Not all of my direct sow poppies came up this spring. I had an order from OneStop Poppyshop that I never saw.
I will resow in late November and December. I also footplant the seeds.
I am sowing Collicinia (sp) Chinese Houses. This is a new plant for me and I followed ths directions on the pack plus what was written about them in PF and the seed company website. I have sowen these in 4 inch pots in outdoor planters so I will be able to id them in the spring.
I am keeping some seeds back incase I need to replant in spring.
I kept OSPS poppy seeds back to be sure it's not my fault they didnt germinate last spring due to too early a sowing. If a Dec. sowing doesnt germinate I will let OSPS know.
I plan to sow densly in a marked area and label the 3 poppies.
