Mikado California Poppy
Like a blazing sunset dotted with scuttling clouds, Mikado’s red-orange petals and silvery foliage combine to form a stunning contrast. Enjoy these spectacular, self-sowing blooms for months at a time. Meadow or naturalized landscape plantings are especially effective. California poppies are generally drought tolerant and bloom from early summer into fall, but will take a break during heat waves. Honeybees and other bees relish the nutrient-rich pollen. Pairs well with a planting of Yarrow.Â
