All poppies are easy to start. We get little or
now snow in the PNW. I try to get mine out
by Feb/March so they experience some cold. I
just throw them out - don't even cover. Here,
they're bound to get "rained" into the ground.

So are you saying that these are hard to start
from seed? I was planning
on getting the seed from the pods and growing
lots more next year.
