CALIFORNIAN POPPY
Eschscholtzia californica
We love this short-lived perennial with cup-shaped, open flowers in orange, cream and pink. It is hardy, tolerates all soils and survives the hungry of browsers. This pretty, trouble-free plant for rock gardens and containers flowers from spring through to autumn and makes a simple cut flower. Dead head to prolong flowering. Easily self seeds. 200 seeds
