Four Vibrant Poppy Varieties:

• California Poppy (Standard) produces brilliant orange flowers atop 12–18 inch plants, blooming for weeks in spring and fall. This resilient wildflower naturalizes easily across the United States.
• Golden West California Poppy showcases sunny yellow petals with warm orange centers. Highly drought-tolerant, it brings dependable color to borders, meadows, and tough garden spaces.
• Mikado California Poppy offers striking red-orange petals that gently open and close with the sun. Excellent for mass plantings, cottage gardens, and pollinator habitats.
• Flanders Poppy (Red Corn Poppy) features iconic, tissue-like red petals with bold black centers on plants 12–30 inches tall. Steeped in history as a symbol of remembrance, it adds both beauty and meaning to garden beds.

How to Grow:
Sow poppy seeds directly outdoors in full sun. Plant in early spring or fall in mild climates. Scatter seeds lightly over well-drained soil and press gently to ensure good soil contact; do not bury seeds deeply, as they require light to germinate. Water lightly until established. Once growing, poppies need little care and often reseed themselves naturally.

Bloom & Care Tips:
Deadhead to encourage extended blooms, or allow seed pods to mature for natural reseeding. In warmer regions, California poppies may act as short-lived perennials. Flanders poppies thrive as hardy annuals and can be planted again season after season.
