🌺 BOLD CRIMSON BLOOMS THAT STAND OUT IN ANY GARDEN – The Red Chief variety (Eschscholzia californica) produces vivid 2–3 in. cup-shaped flowers in deep crimson—a rare alternative to the common orange poppy that creates stunning displays in borders, meadows, and slopes. Each pack contains 5000 heirloom seeds (3.2g) for generous garden coverage.
🌱 GERMINATES IN 7–14 DAYS WITH ZERO FUSS – Direct sow outdoors in early spring or fall into well-drained, sandy, or rocky soil at 1/4 in. depth. No indoor starts, fertilizing, or special preparation required. These California poppy seeds germinate reliably at 55–65°F and thrive in poor soils.
☀️ DROUGHT TOLERANT AND LOW-MAINTENANCE BY DESIGN – Once established, water only when the soil becomes dry. No deadheading or fertilizing required. Naturally self-seeds in USDA Zones 8–10 and thrives across Zones 2–10, making it ideal for xeriscaping and low-water landscapes.
🦋 FILLS BORDERS, SLOPES & POLLINATOR GARDENS ALL SEASON – Blooms from spring through early summer, attracting bees and native pollinators with nectar-rich flowers. Deer resistant and self-seeding, it's perfect for wildflower meadows, erosion control, naturalized landscapes, and pollinator gardens.
