I've tried to help my poppies (rhoeas (sp) to reseed them selves for years,
sprinkling, covering, not covering, in various ways at all times of year.
I've had the best luck with late early spring seeding, when the ground is
just about unfrozen. The most successful method though has been to sprinkle
them in little flats outside in a protected spot, let them sprout, and then
transplant when still small. The few self seeded plants,however, that have
gone on to grow have been enormous compared to the others that I planted. I
wish I could get them all to self seed that way, but I don't know the
secret. I'm in Massachusetts, outside Boston, zone 4-5 I think. Judy
