How do you propagate oriental poppies? The best time is in the fall, so that is the when!
We filmed pieces of this video over the last few years to give you some ideas. It takes a while for them to establish, but they are worth it!

Good morning, Colleen, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b ❤
You look great...❤awesome❤
I've never tried Poppies. Super good info ❤
❤Peggy❤
You could easily add one or two to your garden Peggy. They basically disappear for most of the year. So it could go behind something. Cheers, Colleen
@@clivesconundrumgarden they are beautiful 😍
Happy 21st birthday Colleen! Now that is some long term editing!! Great long game and beautiful poppies!!🪱🪱🪱
Lol - we've been holding onto this one for months. For so long I didn't even remember we had the footage until Jason went and found it! He's a thinker, that one!
Cheers, Colleen
Hi Colleen. Well done! They're one of my favorite flowers. I wish I had thought to propagate mine last year.
Yuo could try this fall - it's a nice fall project. What colors do you have? Cheers, Colleen
How gorgeous! Wow - I can’t believe how many huge blooms you have. Most awesome work!
Thanks Colorado! It was definitely one of my favorite plants, even though the blooms only last a month or so. It's really worth it. Cheers, Colleen
Happy belated birthday Colleen, that ornamental poppy looks fab 😊
Lol thank you!! It's one of my favorite flowers. It doesn't look real! Cheers Colleen
Pasta and birthday cake! It sounds delicious! Happy birthday Colleen!! It's so exciting to propagate plants! The anticipation of seeing them come to life..... it's so rewarding!!😊❤
And if you have LOTS of roots, at least a couple will work! That was my plan, anyway, and it did happen to work out. Very enjoyable! Cheers, Colleen
😊❤
I love that you've found somewhere to grow wherever you move
We're pretty lucky, I have to say. Hoping that we will have another new space before spring! Cross your fingers for us! Cheers, Colleen
Thats absolutely GORGEOUS 😍 ❤️
I loooove poppy's! I had just started getting into them the spring before leaving Colorado. I plan on planting a bunch this Spring. It amazes me that you can do so much with plants, roots & seeds.
Awesome & informative video friends 🙌🖤
I've also got seeds for some annual poppies that I'm going to try to plant this fall. They are really lovely! Hope you all are having a good fall! Cheers, Colleen
@clivesconundrumgarden I can't wait to see them!!
We're freezing down here but otherwise Fall is awesome lol.
I hope ya'all are doing awesome 🖤
Beautiful and so easy to propagate!
It's true it was easy, but I had a pretty spectacularly high failure rate on getting them to take. Nothing like your comfrey roots! Lol those things were bananas! Cheers, Colleen
Good Grief! Falling behind on videos. Almost missed this one. Propagating poppies. Cool. Never had luck with them. Watching what you are doing now. 15th to like.
Thanks, Tom. It was pretty easy and worked relatively well. They didn't all grow, but I got a couple, which was all I wanted! Cheers, Colleen
Hi Colleen belated birthday wishes to you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's totally amazing how a beautiful plant like that comes from small bit of root to give such dazzling display
colour is so vibrant.
Thanks guys! We actually made the video just before we left Victoria. Made us nostalgic to watch it back. The only problem with the flower is how short a bloom time it has. But it's so lovely that I don't mind. The camera can't do it justice! Hope you're having a great fall! Cheers Colleen
Great info, did not know you could do that with oriental poppies.
I started a bunch of poppies from seed 2 years ago, was thrilled when they bloomed the 1st year. A friend gave me a bare root plant last fall that finally bloomed this fall, the only problem is the flower covers have been sticking to the blossoms, never seen that before. Think I will separate some roots this fall, always more room for more poppies.
I guess, a happy belated birthday is in order🎂 Stay Well !!!
The poppy must have been very happy to have bloomed the first year from seed.
Never seen that sticky problem before, either. Let is know of you figure it out! Cheers J&C
Great way to get extra plants 😊 the same as the parent. ❤️👍🤠
It sure takes a while, but I think it was worth it! Cheers, Colleen
Nice one guys I did not know you could do that
It's not overly difficult - just takes a long time to see some results!
Nice job Colleen and Jason. I’m wondering did you plant the roots straight up and down? Were the root pieces about 3” in length? I know some roots need to be planted sideways. 😁
I should have done both up and down and sideways, but I think I just did up and down. They were about 3 to 4 inches long after I trimmed them. My mom has an Oriental Poppy, so I might try some root cuttings with that one and see what works better - Cheers, Colleen
Well, well, well.
I never knew they grew like that, I thought it all died and the fallen seeds grew the next year..
Thank you for the info and stay awesome...🐮🐮🐮
Annual poppies are like that! I have some seeds I'm going to try this year. But these guys are perennials, so root cuttings are best. All depends on the kind of poppy! Cheers, Colleen (and Jason)
@@clivesconundrumgarden I will definitely have to look into this.
Do they have seed pods like annual poppies?...🐮🐮🐮
They do have seed pods like regular poppies. But the seeds don't usually come true to the plant. In order to get that same color, you have to take root cuttings (according to what I've read). Cheers, Colleen
@@clivesconundrumgarden thank you for the info.. stay awesome lovely lady...☺️🐮🐮🐮
@@mandamoosgardeningadventur8305 😊
Nice. A video that was years in the making. 😀 I never tried doing a root cutting. I have divided iris but they are a rhizome, so not the same thing. I imagine the nonoriental poppies would work the same way. 🤣
Yes, it takes some patience to do the root cutting thing. The non Oriental poppies grow from seed. I'll be gorilla gardening some of those this fall! Cheers Colleen
Nice bit of Info guys
Thanks Lee!
Happy belated birthday, Colleen! This looks like your Victoria garden?? I only have one oriental poppy. It's buried in a bed and I always get surprised when that vibrant blast of colour emerges out of seemingly nowhere.
~ Sandra
I think that's a great way to grow that plant, Sandra. It's a bit fuggly the rest of the year. And yes! That's Clive's yard in Victoria. You could get Landon to drive you over and take a root cutting for you! Then you could have two of them! Cheers, Colleen
I like going rogue as a gardener!
~ Sandra
Does that mean you'll be sneaking into Clive's garden for some root cuttings? Lol.
No, I don't think so! I have about 1000 California poppy seeds to plant and I was going to just litter them through that bed. I'll have to do some research to see if the deer eat them before I do it, though. The deer have left our oriental poppy alone thus far.
~ Sandra
@NanasWorms they did not eat our California poppies
Wow did not know that Colleen about root cuttings 👍👍. Did you take any to moms house with you? Stay awesome have a fab week kiddos, Ali 🌧️🌧️🌧️🇨🇦
I wanted to bring some, Ali, but the border is pretty strict about soil stuff coming across. So I left it. But I might look for a plant around here. Hope the weather has been nice for you! Cheers Colleen
@@clivesconundrumgarden biblical downpours here Torino is supposed to get 200 mm today
holy cow! it might be a rough winter!
@@clivesconundrumgarden I’m dodging pouring rain today so I can get jobs done 🤦♀️
Support❤
Thank you !!
Have a great weekend!!
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍
Thanks!
I bought my bare poppy roots from Walmart in those green bags, and it's currently April, can I plant them now I live in planting zone 7a, I think these roots are too tiny and fragile to leave them in the bag, I currently planted the roots in a 5" pot in potting soil with some bone meal and gave them a little drink of diluted transplant solution.
Apologies for the late reply !! How are they doing ? Bone meal is a smart addition!!
@@clivesconundrumgarden they all died it looks like. I got 3 more bags poppy roots after that and planted them in the ground and filled the whole back in with topsoil and play sand since they like sandy soil but looks like they died to, it was in the mid 80s each time I planted the poppy roots and I tried making shade for them out of their bags they came in like a mini "tent" with popsicle sticks supporting the edges of the green bags, but then pull bugs ate the tender growth off of the poppy root crowns so I used plastic cups to put around them, I forgot the bone meal to ad to the holes when I planted them in the ground, no matter what I did, they look dead. SMH
That poppy is a bit pricey to buy in nursery. Dont have that variety yet
If you see one in someone's yard, maybe they will let you take a root cutting! Now would be the time to do it. That would be free!! Cheers Colleen
@@clivesconundrumgarden my farther neighbour has alot but i feel embarrased to ask 😊
I hate asking, too, but people LOVE to talk about their flowers - they might be just tickled.
Can you take a vegetative cutting from one of the stems and propagate them that way? Hard to see the stems but I bet you could get at least 3 cuttings out of that big stem.
I've not seen that done. My mom has an Oriental poppy here I could try it with. The foliage is all melted at the moment though. I'll have to wait until next year. Cheers, Colleen
@@clivesconundrumgarden That would be a good experiment for you in the spring, with all that new foliage in peak performance. If it works, a perfect clone. Give it a shot.
Sooo too long! Cut to the chase!
