California Poppy 'Purple Gleam'

1000 seeds

Sow Outdoors: Directly sow seeds outdoors after the last frost in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Scatter the seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them in. Do not cover the seeds deeply, as they need light to germinate.

Germination: Keep the soil lightly moist. Germination typically occurs in 10–20 days. Once the seedlings appear, water lightly, but avoid excessive moisture.

Thinning: Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to 6–8 inches apart to allow enough space for growth.

Sunlight and Care: California poppies need full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, they are drought-tolerant and require minimal watering. They are great for low-maintenance gardens or wildflower meadows.

Purple Gleam California poppies are known for their vibrant purple and lavender hues, adding a beautiful contrast to traditional orange poppy varieties. They’re ideal for creating a colorful, natural-looking garden.
