Its pods are great for both ornamental and culinary purposes, as the seeds are commonly used in baking. The plants prefer rich, slightly alkaline soil, so incorporating compost or organic matter before planting is beneficial. When to GrowSow Giant Rattle Breadseed poppies in early spring or late fall. These poppies do best when exposed to cooler temperatures, so planting them as early as possible ensures they will bloom before the heat of summer. In milder climates, they can also be sown in the fall to overwinter and bloom in early spring. How to Sow and PlantDirect sow the tiny seeds on the surface of the soil barely covering them, as they need light to germinate. Scatter them thinly and press them gently into the soil. Germination typically occurs within 14-21 days, depending on soil conditions. Once seedlings reach a few inches in height, thin them to 8-10 inches apart to prevent overcrowding. Once established, these poppies are quite low-maintenance. They prefer consistent moisture during the germination and early growth stages but can tolerate dry conditions once mature. Mulching around the base of the plants helps retain soil moisture and keep roots cool. Staking may be necessary for taller plants to support the large seed pods.
