California Poppy Plant

California Poppy plants, Stylophorum diphyllum, a sight beholding herbaceous perennial found in North America and is indigenous to the Eastern United States, seems an unreal addition to any garden or meadow. The eye-catching bright yellow and orange four-petal flowers have ruffled centers and blue-green basal leaves paired, lobed, and opposite, commonly found in woodlands, moist forests on calcareous rocks, ravines in early summer and spring.

Such deciduous plants require specific growing conditions, including partial sun, slight or complete shades, to grow optimally. Moist, loamy, and well-drained soil is preferred, while the PH can vary from acidic to neutral.

This perennial is a woodland plant that can grow 1 to 2 feet tall from the ground, while the wildflowers easily reach 24 inches when they mature. These self-sow species seem like a natural ground cover that usually grows from fresh seeds under certain conditions for rapid germination. The addition of compost and adequate moisture to the soil work wonders. Although they are carefree, little maintenance is required in the water supply as they go dormant during dry spells in early summers.

Plant spacing of approximately 1 foot is necessary to avoid plants leaching nutrients from each other. Mulch in winters avoids stunt growth caused by drought or frosting, while deadheading seems beneficial for increased flower production and continuously viable growth.
