50 Seeds California Poppy Eschscholzia californica Golden Wildflower Annual Drought Tolerant Full Sun

California Poppy is a beloved wildflower native to the western United States, prized for its silky, cup-shaped blooms in shades of golden orange and yellow. This easy-going annual brings a bright, naturalistic look to meadows, borders, and wildflower plantings, and it readily self-sows to return season after season.
These poppies are wonderfully suited to sunny, open garden spaces and mix beautifully with other low-water wildflowers. Their blooms open in bright sunlight and close in the evening or on cloudy days, adding movement and charm to the landscape. Plants perform best in well-drained soil and require little maintenance once established.
