Poppies are the flowers harvested from a poppy plant. They are a gardening product grown from Poppy Seeds.
Their use is in the compost heap, where they rot down into compost for fertilising crops. They also suit a flower bed that brightens a base. They wilt quickly, so they are best used soon after picking.
Poppies come only from growing the plant in a garden. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
The plant grows from Poppy Seeds in a garden plot. It takes about 484 hours to grow, a little over twenty in-game days. Each plant gives four to six poppies at harvest.
Sowing season runs through March, April and May. April is the best month to plant. The crop does badly from August through January, so autumn and winter sowing is a poor choice.
Freshly cut poppies go into a composter. There they break down into compost that feeds other crops.
Upkeep
Poppies stay fresh for about six days after picking. They are fully rotten after about ten days.
Locations
Poppies come only from harvesting a poppy plant grown from Poppy Seeds.
Notes
- Sow in April for the best results.
- Spare poppies make good compost material.
- They wilt within about a week, so pick them only when needed.
