Papaver hybridum - Lauren's Grape
Up to 12 plants ship for just $14.99 - so Fill Your Box and Save*
Papaver hybridum âLaurenâs Grapeâ is one of those rare annual poppies that feels perennial in spiritânot because it survives year after year, but because once you grow it, youâll never want to be without it. We trialed a handful of purple-toned poppies many seasons ago, and most were fleeting or uneven in color. âLaurenâs Grapeâ is the clear standout. Its blooms are a saturated, velvety grape-purpleâan unusually rich shade in the poppy worldâand the plants return reliably from seed wherever theyâre allowed to settle.
Growing to about 2â3' tall and 1â1.5' wide, each plant sends up graceful, wiry stems topped with fully cupped flowers from late spring into early summer. When the first flush begins to fade, a light deadheading will often coax out a second wave, though even the seed capsules are ornamentalâupright, sculptural, and prized for dried arrangements. Bees adore the generous pollen, and youâll often see them buried deep within the petals on warm mornings.
The foliage is a soft, gray-green and finely cut, giving the plant a delicate look despite its sturdy nature. Once seedlings are established, âLaurenâs Grapeâ is surprisingly drought tolerant and happiest in lean soil with full sun. Too much fertility causes it to flop. Allow the final pods to mature and shatter, and youâll have a gentle self-sown colony that reappears each year in natural drifts. Thin seedlings to maintain vigor, but otherwise it asks little.
With minimal care beyond thinning and the occasional deadhead, âLaurenâs Grapeâ rewards you with one of the most dramatic and unforgettable purples in the garden.
