EschscholtziaCommon name; Californian Poppy A hardy annual with bright, poppy-like flowers which appear from June till the first frosts, that are followed by cylindrical blue-green seed pods. In cool, dull weather the flowers tend to close up. They thrive well in poor well drained soil. They grow to a height of 300mm (12") If to be used as cut flowers, gather them at the bud stage.
Week 13; Sow the seeds in trays of seed compost and germinate at 16°C (60°F) Germination should take around five days. Week 15; Prick out into boxes/trays or cell trays when large enough to handle.
Week 21; Plant out 150mm (6") apart when all fear of frost has passed. Deadhead regularly throughout the season to prevent self seeding.
