I sowed these directly into the garden in April (6a, Pennsylvania) and they turned out great! Will plant again!

- Kelly W.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars7/8/26Not as nice as expected
The package resulted in 2 plants and one was very spindly, the other was fuller. The flowers are a beautiful shade but individual flowers lasted 1-2 days at best and stems weren't long enough to cut. The bluish foliage was not particularly atteactive. Loved the flowers. Saved some seed will give another ho next year.
Maybe my climate is just too hot.

- Stephanie T.Rated 5 out of 5 stars7/7/26Showstopper in the Garden!
Lauren's Grape easily germinated and I daringly transplanted them by fours into 5 inch coir pots. I got them into barrels and a flower bed early spring and they were the most stunningly beautiful poppies I've seen. Now I'm letting the pods dry for seeds.

- LauraVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars12/27/25Great early summer color!
I direct sowed these early in spring in Ohio. They don’t like our summer heat, but bloomed nicely early in the season.
