While the plants can prove tricky to get going as they resent transplanting, once established they will spread readily. The Californian tree poppy requires fertile, well-drained soil, and shelter from strong winds. It can be propagated from root cuttings taken in the winter-early spring months. You'll be rewarded with lots of "fried egg" blooms for many many weeks!

Spectacular. Another I am not acquainted with but then, it wouldn't stand a chance in my windy, dry garden. Thank you for bringing it to my notice.

ReplyDeleteI am familiar with poppies, but not tree poppies. These are beautiful. I wonder whether I can grow them in Virginia. I must investigate.
