Common Questions
Do I need to deadhead California poppy?
This is optional; however, it will extend your bloom season. Leaving on some spent flowers if you want to reseed for your next growing season.
Are these flowers fragrant?
They are not known for their scent, but they are valued highly for their cheerful blooms.
Can I grow in containers?
Yes, you can. Make sure to choose a container large enough for mature plants as California poppies do not like to be transplanted. Containers will need good drainage, and you will also need to water more frequently.
Are poppies deer resistant?
Yes, they do tend to be deer resistant.

Orientale Poppy (Papaver Orientale Mix) - Orientale Poppies add old-fashioned charm to gardens. These perennials establish well from Poppy seeds, and they grow well in sunny areas in soil that is well-drained. Oriental Poppy plants are hardy and do well in mountain wildflower gardens at high elevations. The silky, bowl-shaped flowers appear in late spring and burst from distinctive buds covered in bristly hairs. This Poppy mix includes shades of red, orange, pink, white and bi-colored forms. Many of the wildflowers feature inky-dark blotches at the base of the petals and colorful stamens in the center. Oriental Poppies have seed pods that will drop wildflower seeds for germination the following spring. There's nothing more beautiful than a meadow filled with Poppy wildflowers!
