Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them in lightly; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil evenly moist until seedlings emerge, then water sparingly. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to encourage healthy growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, California poppies require little care. Avoid overwatering and rich fertilizers, which can cause floppy growth. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering, or allow some flowers to go to seed for natural reseeding. In mild climates, plants may behave as perennials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 California Chrome Queen Poppy seeds (Eschscholzia californica).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776196182326,"sku":"FOLIA-378","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7342625073_92ny.jpg?v=1792468298","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-california-chrome-queen-poppy-seeds-bright-yellow-eschscholzia-californica-wildflower","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
