Prepared for Success: Coated & Pelleted
California Poppy is an iconic western native that covers open ground with brilliant golden-orange flowers while supplying pollen to native bees. Its small seeds can be difficult to see and spread evenly, often creating crowded patches and bare areas. Each seed is formed into a visible pellet for easier planting and more even coverage.
Covers 75 sq. ft
California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is native to the Pacific Coast and western United States, blooming across coastal bluffs, open grasslands, and dry hillsides from southern Washington through California and into the desert Southwest.
Native states: AZ, CA, NV, NM, OR, UT, WA
Widely grown across: Most of the U.S. — adapts well outside its native range as a cool-season annual that reseeds freely.
Best suited for: Full sun, poor to average well-drained soil, dry to low moisture. Does not transplant — direct sow only. Closes its flowers on cloudy days and at night.
RAKE
Clear away weeds and debris, then loosen the top inch of soil. Good prep helps the seeds make proper contact with the soil.
SHAKE
Shake pellets evenly across your area. Each pellet contains one seed, so spacing stays consistent and planting stays controlled. (~50 seeds per sq. ft.)
PAT
Rake or pat seeds snug into the soil. This keeps them in place and ensures strong seed-to-soil contact.
WATER
Water once or twice daily. The soil should look dark, like a damp sponge for the first 2-3 weeks to to kickstart germination.
