Description

California Orange Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is a brilliant native wildflower famous for its glowing, golden-orange cup-shaped blossoms and finely divided, lace-like blue-green foliage. Symbolizing warmth and sunny days, these silky petals open brightly under full sun and close gently on cloudy days or during late evening. Exceptionally hardy and drought-tolerant, this low-maintenance garden favorite self-seeds readily to create breathtaking, naturalized floral carpets in sunny garden spots year after year.
