From late fall to late winter loosen enriched garden soil down to a 6" depth. For zones 3-7 it's best to direct seed into your garden after your first freeze in the fall. For zones 8-9, or mild zones like California, you will get better results if you cold treat your seeds (see below) and sow them during the winter.
If sowing spring you will need to cold treat your seeds prior to sowing. Poppies will not germinate and grow in hot summer heat.
