Common name California poppy, golden poppy Family papaveraceae Life cycle annual/tender perennial Flowers yellow-orange Size 18" Light sun Cultural notes ordinary garden soil An annual in our garden. The bright-green frilly foliage is nice by itself, but of course the real show is the burst of golden flowers in late spring. After growing it last year, I hoped this would self-seed, but only one seedling volunteered. Luckily, we started some more with leftover seed. Now I just need to remember to collect seed when it ripens, to ensure an ongoing supply...

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: cutting garden
