Oriental Poppy

Question

My oriental poppy pods opened and no flowers. They have bloomed in years past. What happened?

Answer 1

This could be due to a nutrient imbalance in the soil - such as high nitrogen and low phosphorus. Try adding some bone meal to the soil to bring up the phosphorus levels and encourage blooming.
