California Poppy Orange

A beautiful flower that keeps blooming all season long. The California Poppy is well suited to areas with poor soil conditions. It is drought tolerant and readily self sows, becoming a plant that returns year after year. The history of this plant is well documented for its food and medicinal uses among various Native American groups on the West Coast. Greens can be cooked, flowers are used to treat lice, pollen to make cosmetics, and roots were used for poultices to treat toothaches. What a great plant!
