Description

California Poppy Mixed Colors (Eschscholzia californica) is a brilliant heirloom wildflower blend prized for its silky, cup-shaped blossoms and delicate, blue-green feathery foliage. Producing a cheerful display of golden-yellow, bright orange, soft cream, rose, and crimson blooms, it opens wide to meet the daytime sun. Fast-growing and remarkably drought-tolerant, this low-maintenance variety thrives in poor, lean soils, making it an outstanding choice for meadow plantings, rock gardens, borders, and naturalized garden spaces.
