One of the easiest flowers you can grow from seed in Ireland.
Eschscholtzia californica produces cup-shaped flowers in a rich range of vivid colours on upright stems to 40 cm. Fine silver-green foliage. Flowers close at night and in dull weather, then open fully in sun. Self-seeds freely once established, so a single sowing often gives you flowers for years.
🌿 Sowing: March to May or August to September
📏 Height: 40 cm
🍸 Use: Flower beds and gardens
Growing tips for Ireland
Sow directly where it will flower. California poppy does not like being transplanted. It actually thrives in poor, well-drained soil and performs worse if fed or over-watered. A dry, sunny spot is ideal. Once established it self-seeds and comes back year after year with no effort on your part.
