The best way to get Poppy in Hades 2 will be to grow the seeds and then harvest the plant. To get Poppy seeds you must dig up spots in Tartarus for which you will need a Silver Spade. To get the spade, make the Night’s Craftwork Incantation at the cauldron. It will take one Molly after which you can craft the spade with 10x Silver.

Once you have the tool, reach Tartarus and look for dig spots. To get to Tartarus, you must first beat Hecate in Erebus, then Scylla and the Sirens in Oceanus, and finally Cerberus in The Field of Mourning.

After you beat Cerberus, you will gain access to Tartarus. Once there, find dig spots for Poppy seeds.

Once you have some seeds, make your way back to the Soil Plots at the Crossroads, and then interact with it using the Flourishing Soil Incantation to plant the seeds. You will then need to experience several encounters before they are grown and ready for harvesting.
