California Poppies BONUS PACK - Cornucopia Seeds

Eschscholzia californica 

Annual

The official State Flower of California. Beautiful and delicate to the eyes, but amazingly hardy. Very tolerant of drought and poor soil with bright, showy flowers held high on sturdy stems. Reseeds itself in milder climates. Ht. 12 in. 

Gardener's Notes: As soon as soil can be worked in early spring, sow seeds directly outdoors in average garden soil. In mild winter climates,. poppies can be planted in fall to overwinter for spring bloom. For large areas, sprinkle seeds thinly and keep soil evenly moist while awaiting germination. In garden beds, space seeds several inches apart when seedlings are large enough to handle so plants have room to grow and spread. Poppies will tolerate dry soil but always bloom longer if watered regularly. Poppies happily reseed for bloom the following year.
