🌿 Californian Poppy Seeds — Eschscholzia californica

Hardy Annual | Easy Wildflower | For Horticultural Growing Only

The Californian Poppy is a cheerful, easy‑to‑grow flower with feathery blue‑grey foliage and silky, cup‑shaped blooms in golden yellow to bright orange. Native to western North America, it thrives on poor, dry soils and flowers freely from early summer into autumn. In mild areas it may behave as a short‑lived perennial and often self‑seeds.

These seeds have no coating or seed treatment and are intended exclusively for horticultural cultivation, botanical study, and educational use.

🌱 Growing Guide

These are general horticultural guidelines — not instructions for ingestion or processing.

📅 When to Sow

• Spring — Sow direct outdoors from March to May.

• Autumn — Sow in September for earlier, stronger plants the following year.

🌿 How to Sow

• Sow direct — Poppies dislike root disturbance, so sow where they are to flower.

• Depth — Scatter thinly and barely cover (about 2–3 mm).

• Germination — Usually 10–20 days at 15–20°C.

• Thinning — Thin seedlings to about 15 cm apart.

☀️ Growing Conditions

• Position — Full sun; flowers close in dull weather.

• Soil — Poor to moderately fertile, free‑draining soil. Avoid rich soil, which gives leaves at the expense of flowers.

• Watering — Drought‑tolerant once established; water only in long dry spells.

• Uses — Ideal for borders, gravel gardens, containers and pollinator‑friendly plantings.
