Eschscholzia - California Poppy

Eschscholzia, commonly known as the California poppy, is an easy-to-grow flowering plant that brings vibrant colour to gardens throughout summer. With its silky, cup-shaped blooms in shades of orange, yellow, pink, cream and red, this hardy annual is perfect for creating natural-looking displays in borders, gravel gardens, wildflower areas and containers.

These hardy annuals thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, making them an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens. Once established, California poppies are drought tolerant and often self-seed, returning year after year with very little effort. Their fern-like blue-green foliage provides attractive texture even when plants are not in flower.
