Thank you for your response! Do you think putting poppy seeds in the freezer for a day before planting would do the trick?

I think it's called stratification, to expose seeds to freeze\thaw cycles. With poppies, I believe they recommend 2 weeks. With our crazy back and forth weather, you really may still have luck seeding directly outside
