Californian Poppy, organic seed

Eschscholzia californica

California poppy is the state flower of California, growing vigorously in its native zone, flowering in summer, and returning annually in zones 6 through 10. These golden beauties also come in red, pink, and white, growing well in the ground or containers. These plants prefer full sun and sandy, well-drained soil. They don't require fertilizer and are drought-tolerant. However, they will go dormant in excessive heat. Indigenous tribes historically used this plant for food, oil, and medicinal purposes. This plant is toxic to livestock.
