Description
The most beautifully-colored California Poppy mix of them all, Thai Silk boasts big, semi-double blooms with fluted petals in various jewel tones with glowing yellow centers. They have a chiffon-like texture that makes them shimmer in the sunny garden, and the 3-inch jewel-tone blooms arise profusely over a very long season. The plant is attractive even when not in bloom, with finely-cut, gray-green foliage in a mounded 10-inch habit. They bloom from early summer to fall--a spectacular display of color! The vivid colors range from sunny yellows and tangerines to magenta. This mix contains all 3 Thai Silk colors: apricot shot with red; creamy yellow; and rosy-red. This Poppy does best in areas where summers are not humid and the soil is well-drained. Best if sown direct, the seeds can also be started indoors if necessary.
Eschscholzia californica: This mix is the fanciest of the California poppies. Breathtaking in massed plantings or containers, and it is easy to grow from seed. Height: 10-14 inches. Germination code: (4) Commonly known as California Poppy, these simple flowers are native to western North America and bring endless enjoyment. Sow in the spring for blooms all summer long. Sow in the fall and yours will be the first to bloom in spring. Will self sow. An outstanding border plant.
Other common names: California poppy Thai Silk Series. Family: Papaveraceae. Genus: Eschscholzia can be annuals or perennials, with finely divided leaves and solitary, long-stalked, poppy-like yellow, orange or red flowers, followed by conspicuous long seed-pods. Details: Thai Silk Series are annuals with attractively dissected, blue-green foliage and single or more often semi-double flowers 4-6cm wide, in a range of shades of cream, yellow, orange, pink and red, sometimes with a cream centre.
