Starting from Seed

Stratified Lauren Springer\'s Grape poppy seeds are exceptionally easy to start and germinate readily with minimal preparation.

• When to Sow:

  • Indoors: Start 6–8 weeks before your last spring frost. The stratification pre-treatment accelerates germination compared to untreated seeds.
