It is usually grown for 2 years. The flowers and plants of the same genus are all taproots, few fibrous roots, and not resistant to transplantation, so the application of direct propagation, if the need for garden layout. It is best to use the nutrition bowl or small paper basin seedling, even pot or basin transplantation, otherwise it is difficult to survive or poor growth. According to the climatic characteristics, decide the sowing propagation time. The northeast region is cold, sowing propagation can be in spring as early as the initiation. Seeds are small, sowing to fine, the use of drill, row spacing 25-30 cm. In the severe winter the surface of hay covers cold. The optimum temperature for seed germination is 20℃.Home propagation can live in the pot.

Because the seeds of Common poppy are small, the soil should be leveled and beaten fine when sowing. After sowing propagation, it is not necessary to cover the soil, but also a thin layer of sand can be covered. Soil thickness is no longer visible, seeds should be appropriate (0.2-0.3 cm).
