Re: papaver orientale -Reply

I have moved mine in the spring & had no trouble. However, I personally
prepare the soil & the site. I do water daily, but my soil is well
drained, so this does not bother the plant. I worrry about transplant
shock, so any wilted leaves are a warning. the watering seems to help.
When transplanting poppies in the spring, I usually try to transplant
them before they get very tall. With the littler leaf growth, the plant
has more energy to continue growing in the new site, plus can better cope
with any little accidents to existing foliage. with minor foliage, the
plant may be fooled into thinking it has not really started yet, & will
usually send out new leaves. Good Luck
