Eschscholzia Californica Thai Silk Strawberry Fields – 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 Strawberry Fields’ showcases vibrant blooms in shades of strawberry red, coral pink and warm peach, highlighted by glowing golden centres. The striking flowers create a vivid display throughout summer and contrast beautifully against finely textured blue-green foliage. California poppies have a history of use in traditional herbal remedies, and their petals can be used as an attractive 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.
