Peony Poppy flower seeds need light to germinate. Keep flower seeds moist until germination. Transplant Peony Poppy seedlings outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Another option, and often preferred by many gardeners, is to directly sow the black Peony seeds outdoors. Peony Poppy flower seed can be sown in the late fall, late winter, or early spring.
