Eschscholzia Californica ‘Thai Silk Appleblossom Chiffon’ – California Poppy

Eschscholzia (also known as California poppies) is a rare summer poppy native to North America. Treasured for their magnificent shape and colour, our quality, established annuals are perfect for mixed borders, garden edges and cottage beds. ‘Thai Silk Appleblossom Chiffon’ bears exquisite semi-double blooms in soft shades of blush pink, cream and ivory, with delicately ruffled petals that resemble silk. Flowering continuously through summer, this elegant variety adds a romantic touch to borders and wildlife-friendly gardens. California poppies have long been valued in traditional herbal medicine for their calming properties, while their petals can be used as a decorative edible garnish. Growing to approximately 25-35cm in height and spread, this compact, bushy variety is exceptionally easy to grow and thrives in sunny, well-drained positions. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires very little maintenance beyond occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage an even longer flowering season, although allowing some seed heads to develop may result in natural self-seeding for future displays. Pair with nigella and cosmos for a colourful, wildlife-friendly cottage garden display.
Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
