Description: "RED CHIEF" CALIFORNIA POPPY. Maybe the world's most popular wildflower. These produce single flowers in red, really no two are alike. Grow in borders, beds, and meadows, they also do well in containers. For bouquets, cut in early morning and singe the stem base with a flame to seal it before putting it in water. Grows about 16" inches tall, blooms profusely from June until first frost and is very easy to grow and will self-sow. California poppies are a favorite of gardeners in every state for rock gardens, flower beds, containers, and most anyplace that you want some easy color.
