California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica), organic open-pollinated seeds.

About this variety

A bright yellow/orange single flower of the Papaveracea (Poppy) family. It's Latin name Escholzia Californica traces back to the physician Dr Johann Friedrich Eschscholz, who discovered and described the plant in 1815. Not only having its origins there, it also also became the state flower of California in 1890. It is quick to flower and will do so profusely for a long period of the summer until it sets seed. A real pleasure to have in the garden, especially in low-maintenance areas as it will just get on with doing its thing. (Approximate seed count - 150)
