This California Native Poppy variety adds just the right eye-catching animation and flash to your garden with a long-blooming display of vivid 2" tangerine-red satiny flowers for several months. Eschscholzia, better known as the California Poppy, are wildflowers native to Western North America that bloom in many colors beyond the iconic orange, including the softest of pinks to the boldest of reds, with pops of purple and yellow splashed in there too! The foliage is an attractive blue-green that adds interest to your garden even before the blooms appear. The bees love to dance in its pollen and some local butterflies will also seek out its nectar for nutrition. Once established, they need little water. Deadhead to keep those flowers coming! Drought tolerant, deer resistant and self-sows! Plants will live several years if cut back and kept dry-ish in Summer. To maintain as a perennial, avoid watering once leaves begin to dry out. Cut back dead growth to the ground once you see a flush of new growth. Looks fabulous planted together with the blues of Penstemon heterophyllus - Blue Springs Foothill Penstemon

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
