Growing Habits & Planting Instructions: Lauren's Grape Poppy thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. To plant, scatter the tiny seeds on the soil surface in early spring, as poppies do best when they experience a period of cold before germinating. Avoid covering the seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate. Space the plants about 6-8 inches apart. Once established, they require minimal care, though they should be watered during prolonged dry spells. These poppies will self-seed, ensuring a continued display in your garden year after year. Their upright habit and height of up to 30 inches make them a striking presence in any garden setting.
