Description
Orange California Poppy
California's state flower, and North America's most popular wildflower. Flowing orange blossoms shaped like delicate cups top a low-growing mass of feathery foliage. An excellent choice for dry areas and beautiful in mass plantings. Grown as an annual in cold climates.
Planting
Start outdoors in a sunny location in early spring two weeks prior to last frost, or fall/winter in areas with mild winters. Germinates best in cool weather and well drained soil. Keep young plants evenly moist and well weeded. Do not fertilize.
Note
Blooms profusely in cooler growing conditions and can rebound in the fall after summer heat. Plants tolerate poor soil and light drought. Remove faded flowers to encourage more blossoms.
