Hello Brie and happy new year. I would love to direct sow poppies and larkspur this year, but I live in western Colorado, zone 7a. We only get 8 to 10 inches of precip per year and irrigate everything we grow. My question is, should I wait until March to direct sow? I am new to your Channel and really enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Happy new year!! I don’t feel comfortable giving specific advice for a region I’ve never lived/ gardened in. I’d look for a local resource (extension service) to get timing information. The process is the same but I’m not sure when is best in your area.
Brie..I have extra poppy seed that I bought from you.I can bring to you this weekend...Donna
Omg you are too kind!!! I’m around all weekend. I’d love to see you!
This is why I love the gardening community. I can't believe how giving everyone is 😊❤
Can Larkspur handle the cold like poppies can or should i wait to plant it till right before spring live in zone 9
All of the seeds scattered now are VERY COLD HARDY. They are not heat tolerant. They need cool soil and air temperatures.
@BrieThePlantLady cool thank you i'll sow them in the next few days
Can I cover my seeds with mulched leaves? Just to not leave the ground bare.
No they need light to germinate.
@@BrieThePlantLady Thanks. Also, do I need to cover them when it will be under 30° overnight?
I have tried to get larkspur and poppy to grow in ground but have had little success. Not sure what I’m doing wrong but I can grow them in pots. 😊
