You are bidding on 20 seeds of my hand harvested Red Chief Poppy seeds.

Nothing brings more beauty and drama than brilliant red blooms! This California Poppy Red Chief grows easily from flower seeds and is a real viewing pleasure. Poppy Red Chief reaches 8 - 12 inches in height and has blooms that are accented by a dark center and a vivid blend of red and orange. The attractive blue-green lacy foliage is offset by a slight purple tint.

These are easy to grow too. Just start Poppy seeds directly outdoors in the early spring. Prepare the area by weeding and loosening the top 1 - 2 inches of soil. Sow the Poppy flower seeds and rake the soil covering the seed about 1/8 inch deep, and keep the soil moist until germination. Thin the Poppy seedlings to about 12 inches apart. Decrease watering after the plants begin to flower.

Performing well in all weathers, this Eschscholzia variety is easy to grow in beds, borders and containers, or let it self-seed throughout gravel gardens to form natural drifts. Height: 25cm (10"). Spread: 25cm (10").
