Eschscholzia californica 'Purple Gleam' – California Poppy
A striking and unusual color form of the California state flower, 'Purple Gleam' produces silky purple cup-shaped blooms from spring through summer above finely cut, blue-green foliage. A California native annual that self-sows freely, it naturalizes beautifully in meadows, borders, and wildflower gardens. Drought and clay tolerant, deer resistant, and fire retardant — a tough, eye-catching, and low-maintenance plant that birds love for its seeds.
