Their cheerful flowers attract pollinators and naturalize readily in suitable climates, making them a favorite for low-maintenance landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNative to California, Mikado poppies are drought-tolerant once established and thrive in full sun. They are an excellent choice for xeriscaping, cottage gardens, and roadside plantings.

Scatter seeds thinly over prepared soil and lightly cover with a thin layer of soil, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 10-15 days. Once established, water sparingly and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming, or allow some flowers to go to seed for natural reseeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 California Mikado Poppy seeds for garden planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776201851190,"sku":"FOLIA-389","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7344203967_9q59.jpg?v=1792468323","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-california-mikado-poppy-seeds-for-planting-vibrant-easy-to-grow-wildflowers","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
