If it overwinters well in containers (this is my first time trying this), it will be ready for spring.

Poppies need to be planted in a permanent location. They have very deep taproots. Digging them up completely is practically impossible. This means that in a year or two, a poppy bush will be back in the old spot. We don't just throw the roots around; somehow, they give life to the poppy bush. So now I have poppies growing in three places: the old spot, the new spot, and where I threw the roots.
Poppies thrive in cool weather, so they quickly put on foliage in the spring and quickly recover when pruned. They bloom in the first half of June. They don't last long, like peonies. They don't hold their shape well, so we need to come up with a support structure if we like order, or something to plant nearby (like alchemilla).
The color is amazing!!! We dry poppy heads for decoration and DIY. They are very small.
