California Poppy - Description

Scientific Name: Eschsholzia californica
Family: Poppy (Papaveraceae)

Grown in Williams, Oregon

California Poppy is a self-seeding perennial native to California, Oregon and the southwestern US. A wild show of yellow and orange flowers provide a delightful display in early spring to early summer. Planting California Poppy in rich soils in the greenhouse is unlikely to give results as poppies prefer fast-draining soil or roadside gravel and a sunny exposure. Very easy to establish.
