Planting instructions
Indoors, sowing takes place between February and April. Because the seeds of this variety are very fine, we recommend using a seed chute. Cover the seeds with only a thin layer of soil and keep it slightly moist throughout to encourage faster germination. Starting in March (in cold regions, it's better to sow them indoors in a cool, but bright location first, and then directly outside from the end of March/April), you can sow the seeds outdoors in small pots in a place protected from rain, and then plant the young plants in the garden later. Alternatively, you can also start them in trays indoors from late summer and plant them in the garden in the fall. Germination can be accelerated by placing the seeds in the refrigerator for about a week before sowing, as Cool Flowers need the cold stimulus. Water well and support them if necessary.

Harvesting Iceland poppy and cutting it for the vase
Iceland poppy should be harvested when the buds are just beginning to open. To extend shelf life, we recommend immersing the stem ends in boiling water for 7 to 10 seconds immediately after harvesting.
