Californian Poppy Single Mixed Seeds from Mr Fothergill's Seeds and Plants.
Easy, for colourful displays.
Sow & Grow:
Sow outdoors, March-May or August-October, where they are to flower, 0.5cm (¼") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered.
Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 15cm (6") apart. Water well until plants are established. For a continuous display, make sowings at two to three-week intervals.
Sowings made in curves, rather than straight lines, often create a more pleasing effect.
Flowers: June-October. Late summer and autumn sowings will flower the following year, often earlier than spring sowings.

Hints & Tips:
Save a few seeds to sow in late June and, in most years, you will have blooms until the first frosts.
Remove the dead heads regularly to prolong the flowering season.
