Eschscholzia Californica Thai Silk Rose 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 Rose Chiffon’ delights with silky blooms in rich rose-pink shades blended with creamy undertones and golden centres. The satiny flowers appear in abundance over attractive fern-like foliage, providing months of colour and pollinator interest. California poppies have been used traditionally in herbal medicine for their relaxing properties, while the petals can also serve as decorative, edible garnishes. 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.
