Water:
Spanish poppy thrives in arid environments with high drought tolerance. It requires weekly watering for optimal health and is deciduous, shedding leaves during dry seasons to conserve water.
Pruning:
Spanish poppy features delicate orange flowers and requires regular maintenance. Prune from early to late spring, focusing on dead or leggy growth to boost blooms. Clean tools to prevent disease. Proper pruning enhances airflow and supports healthier, more vibrant plants.
Propagation:
Spanish poppy prefers well-draining soil and full sun for optimal growth. Maintain soil moisture without overwatering, sow seeds thinly, and cover lightly. Thin seedlings when large enough to promote a strong root system and healthy development.
Repotting:
Repot spanish poppy every 2-3 years in spring using a medium-sized, well-draining pot. After repotting, place spanish poppy in a sunny location and water lightly to aid root establishment. Deadhead regularly for continuous blooms, as this hardy perennial requires minimal care.
