Royal Wedding Poppy
in Talkback
I sowed some seeds in jiffy modules and they come up well. They have four small leaves on them but they seem to have stayed the same for a few weeks now. They look a bit spindly, about half inch tall. I have them indoors in a well lit room, keep them well watered. I took them outside this morning to enjoy the fresh air and some sunshine. Am I doing something wrong, they just don't seem to be progressing and I can't believe they will be flowering in June.

If so it will probably flower in June eventually but not 2015. A few perennials will flower fist year from seed but I wouldn't expect these to.

oh dear, I wish you hadn't published that link. I have to buy some of those now. I don't think the effort has been worth it so far
