Imagine what a sight it was for early explorers and settlers when they first laid eyes on the California hillsides massed with golden-orange flowers fluttering in the breeze. This drought-tolerant heirloom, the state flower of California, attracts pollinators and is an ideal plant for naturalized, wildflower areas. Reseeds readily.

    Slow germination (mine was over 2 weeks, sow on late fall), slow to bloom. Bloom beautifully from spring to summer. Low maintainance.

    Self-seeding comes back every year at the same spot or you can harvest the seeds.
