Description

Usa wildflower that is the state flower of california.

A very unusual poppy when blooms appear they look like they have a little bonnet on just prior to opening. Stunning orange blooms above mounds of attractive feathery grey-green foliage. Loves hot, dry areas and poor soils.  Excellent for seeding large areas and filling in the gaps in the herbaceous border.  Blooms spring into summer, especially in cool weather. Great fillers in flower beds and containers. Can be sown in the autumn in mild winter areas (they will self seed and survive the winter more than adequately by themselves).  Keep soil moderately moist during germination. When plants are about 2 inches tall, thin 8 to 12 inches apart to get the best display. Poppies do not transplant well. Avoid over-watering once plants are established. Remove or cut off old flower bases for continued flowering throughout summer.Plants will self-sow if left to their own devices. California poppies thrive on a certain amount of neglect.
