California Poppy Thai Silk Appleblossom Chiffon
Product Description
California Poppy 'Thai Silk Appleblossom Chiffon'
Eschscholzia californica
We’ve dubbed this exquisite ruffled bloomer the poor man’s rose. Glaucous, lacy foliage reveals a profusion of crimped creamy rose petals lightly brushed with cranberry. Similar in coloring to 'Distant Drums' roses, this palette is perfect for wedding work. Versatile, drought tolerant plants are easy to grow, bloom all summer long, and are well suited for small spaces and the front of the border.

Harvest when flowers are in colored bud stage. Individual flowers don’t last long, only 3-4 days, but as they fade and drop petals, the new buds on the stem pop open, giving you at least a week’s worth of flowers.
