This Poppy does best in areas where summers are not humid and the soil is well-drained. Best if sown direct, the seeds can also be started indoors if necessary. Pkt is 100 seeds.
A West Coast native wildflower, California Poppy will brighten any border, rock garden, or container, be it a window box or tub. Also useful for naturalizing, it likes it best when sown directly outdoors. The 1- to 2- foot tall mounds of finely cut, silver-gray foliage are but a backdrop to showy flowers with a chiffon-like texture to their petals. Flowers are 2-3 inches, saucershaped, and are either single, double, or semi-double. They range a multitude of colors: gold, yellow, bronze, orange, scarlet, rose, or white. The flowers close at nightfall and throughout the day they are phototropic: they follow the sun across the sky
Superior Germination Through Superior Science
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
