Vine-plants in good condition, I replant them on the day of receipt and the next day the first poppies straighten up and flower... I water them sparingly and wait for the other flowerings of the season... I recommend planting on a small mound, good garden soil mixed with some sand and minimal watering..., Ideal for dry summers.... Thank you, I will take photos as soon as the maximum beauty is there!!!

Planting and care

Install spreading Iceland poppies in full sun, in deep, poor, and well-drained soil. In heavy soil, add 60% gravel to your topsoil and mix it into the planting hole. At the end of flowering, Iceland poppies form spherical seed capsules, allowing the plant to spread and ensuring their longevity. Cut off some inflorescences if you want to limit the plant's propagation.
