Poppies do not do well being transplanted, so it's best to avoid it if possible.
You need to make sure you dig up all the roots and plant is the same sun location.
Don't divide or even shake off the soil from the freshly dug up plant.
Continuous care is needed to get your Poppy going in it's new home. Fertilize it every 7 to 10 days with an all purpose fertilizer until you see new growth.
Root rot is often a problem, so water the newly transplanted Poppy well, but make sure the soil is draining.
