Mine are very forgiving; came with the house. 10 years of sitting in an unamended, unmulched bed at the foot of the driveway, fighting with the pampas grass and the weeds, and they just multiply every year. My kind of vegetation!
The only problem with poppies is that you cannot use them in a mixed bouquet. They kill everything else; the sap oozes into the water. They don't even last that long by themselves. So I just don't bother cutting them to bring them in at all.
