Eschscholzia California This mix is the fanciest of the California poppies. The flowers are semi-double with fluted petals and a silky, chiffon-like texture. The finely divided, gray-green foliage sets off a summer-long display of shimmering, 3 in, jewel-tone blooms. The vivid colors range from sunny yellows and tangerines to magenta. Breathtaking in massed plantings or containers and it is easy to grow from seed. Height 10 to 14 in. Germination code 4. Commonly known as California poppy, these simple flowers are native to western North America and bring endless enjoyment. Sow in the spring for blooms all summer long. Sow in the fall and yours will be the first to bloom in spring. Will self sow. An outstanding border plant.
