Poppy California Mikado

Mikado California Poppy seeds produce distinctive native wildflowers featuring unique bicolor blooms with deep orange centers transitioning to soft cream edges. This drought-tolerant annual reaches 12-15 inches tall with finely dissected, blue-green foliage that provides attractive texture throughout the growing season. Thrives in full sun with lean, well-drained soil—excessive fertility reduces blooming. Direct sow in early spring or fall, as they strongly resent transplanting. Goes dormant in extreme summer heat. Ideal for xeriscaping, coastal gardens, and naturalized areas where their striking color pattern creates visual interest while requiring minimal water and maintenance.
