No harm in trying some now and some later. In my climes I've sown them as late as March.

if the seed is fresh and viable ... go for it .. maybe half now.. half later ...

so what if they arent on the same schedule as the others ...

i just wouldnt try in very late spring.. when the heat of summer is coming ... babes need the more temperate spring.. to get going.. and get some roots down .. to survive the heat ...

you simply arent that late.. imho ..

Thanks! I am going to try it - I found 2 great sources for some different colored poppies and would really like to see if they would grow. I am in east Texas - tho it gets really hot in summer.....we generally have cool springs. My poppies from years past are just now starting to make little seedlings. I can save back some seed for next fall. Thanks ya'll!

I planted my poppies in November/December years past. Mine are almost ready to start blooming. It all depends if we get a late winter weather one could plant now and get plants.. My instincts are that it is too late to plant them and get large plants but one can plant them and get small plants that will flower and go to seed for next year. I am feeling a warm early spring if this non winter continues. I have not planted in years. It is all volunteered poppies.
