A mass planting of this fresh-looking California Poppy looks dramatic. Plant this variety alone, or mix with orange or Mikado California poppies. Grows best in hot, dry areas, and withstands drought well. This perennial is usually grown as an annual, although foliage will overwinter in USDA zones 7-11. This is a native American wildflower, and if planted as a wildflower one packet will cover 15 square feet.
