Choose a full sun location with soil that drains well; Oriental Poppies do not like to wet soil.
Due to the long root system be sure to give the poppies enough room for the roots. Dig the planting hole 10-12" deep with a similar width. Back fill with loose well drained soil. The crown of the roots, which is where the roots come together should be slightly below the soil surface, about 1/2"-1" below.
The poppies can be planted in pots late season and then transplanted outdoors in spring when the ground is workable.
