California Poppy

Compact annual plant, produces flowers similar to those of the poppy. The California Poppy has traditionally come only in orange, but Bavicchi has created here a wonderful blend of shades from yellow to red, making for a magnificent display of color. Flowers uninterruptedly from June until the first frosts. A native of the Pacific coast, these can be a perennial in mild climate areas. Wonderful as a group in the perennial garden, or consider including in a large area for a great wildflower look. Blooms close at night and in deeply overcast weather. Give these good drainage in humid areas. 12-15 inches (30-40cm) tall.
