Californian Poppy

Californian Poppy

Californian poppies are invaluable flowers for any pockets of bare ground, this Californian native wildflower is not fussy, flowering for months in harsh dry positions and poor soils. The equivalent of a Swiss army knife for gardeners, Californian poppies offer many uses, and their delicate flowers hide their tough personality. 

These open flowers can be grown in pots, sown to attract pollinators and beneficial insects to the vegie garden or sown in interconnected drifts in the flower garden for their colours. All this from an economic packet of seeds! Readily self-seeds if gardens are not heavily mulched between seasons.
