Eschscholzia californica - California Poppy "Moonglow"

Pot size: Gallon

The Moonglow Poppy is a form of the California poppy with cream to white flowers that seem to glow. They reseed vigorously, and grow 1-2 feet tall.  The leaves are divided into round, lobed segments. The flowers are solitary on long stems, silky-textured with four petals. These native annuals bloom from February through September, but most prolifically in the drier summer months.  An important pollinator, poppies are popular for bringing the 3 Bs to gardens, for their vivid splashes of color, for their low water needs, and for being deer resistant.
