'Yukon Gold' Poppy is a California poppy with brilliant blooms that feature petals of bright golden shades and centers of deeper orange hues. The slightly ruffled double blooms sit above lovely blue-green feathery foliage. This poppy variety is an easy to grow direct sow annual that will bloom from spring through summer. 'Yukon Gold' Poppy is spectacular when sown in drifts in sunny borders, but can also be used to fill gaps in the border and in mixed plantings with other annuals.
