Choose the right location Plant in a spot with full sun. These poppies thrive with at least 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. Use well-drained soil They prefer light, well-draining soil.

Don’t disturb the roots Oriental poppies have sensitive taproots. Transplant carefully or sow directly where they will grow. Water moderately Keep the soil slightly moist during growth, but once established, they are quite drought-tolerant.

Trim it and wait — new growth will return later. Mulch lightly Apply a light layer of mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
