It seems like almost every gardener has the conditions to grow these successfully and well, but I've never gotten into poppies. I just don't have an open sunny spot to spare for them. But after visiting Asheville North Carolina for the
annual garden bloggers' get-together, I might need to become bitter about this. I saw beautiful poppies in almost every garden, including a blue variety gardener Christopher Mello had carefully culled and selected to get (below).
They say the best way to do it here in Buffalo is to throw the seeds on the snow in February or so. Maybe next year I'll try.
