California poppy, a native wildflower, adds an easygoing dose of color to hot, dry sites. Beautiful, satiny flowers in sunset colors wave above ferny, blue-green foliage. Plant in sandy, well-drained soil; does not require fertilizer or enriched soil. Only needs occasional water.
California Indians cherished the poppy as both a source of food and for oil extracted from the plant. Its botanical name, Eschscholzia californica, was given by the naturalist Adelbert Von Chamisso, who landed in San Francisco in 1816 in a bay surrounded by hills of the golden flowers.
Zone: 6 to 10. Does well in a container too.
Other Names: Golden poppy, California sunlight
