Bring drama and elegance to your garden with the breathtaking Giganthemum Poppy—a striking variety known for its massive, show-stopping blooms. With ruffled, double-petaled flowers that can span up to 6 inches across, this poppy makes a bold statement in any sunny border or cottage-style garden.
These annuals feature soft, silvery-green foliage and tall, sturdy stems that support the weight of their impressive blooms in shades of soft pinks, purples, or deep reds, depending on the variety. After blooming, they leave behind beautiful seed pods that are equally ornamental and perfect for dried arrangements.

Outdoor Sowing (Recommended)
Timing | Sow seeds directly in the garden in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or in late fall before the ground freezes.
Location | Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Avoid overly rich or wet soil.
How to Sow:
• Scatter seeds thinly over the soil surface.
• Lightly press seeds into the soil—do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
• Water gently to settle.
Germination | Seeds typically germinate in 7–21 days, depending on soil temperature.
Thinning | Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin to 10–12 inches apart to allow for proper growth.
Indoor Sowing (Not ideal but possible)
Poppies dislike transplanting, but if you must start indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance.
Timing | Start 4–6 weeks before your last frost date.
How to Sow:
• Fill pots with moist seed-starting mix.
• Sprinkle seeds on the surface and gently press in—do not cover.
• Place in a bright location or under grow lights.
Germination | Keep soil moist. Seeds should germinate in 7–14 days.
Transplanting | Once seedlings are about 2–3 inches tall and the danger of frost has passed, transplant outdoors pot and all to avoid root disturbance.
Tips:
• Water gently and consistently until established.
• Avoid fertilizing heavily—lean soil encourages better flowering.
• Leave seed pods on the plant for ornamental interest or to collect seeds.
