The California Poppy, a wild plant once appreciated for its bright flowers, now finds its place in our vegetable gardens and among ornamental plants. Here is everything you need to know about these seeds:
Description:
• The California Poppy, also called Eschscholzia californica, is a perennial plant grown as an annual, native to the western United States. It is particularly appreciated for its vibrant flowers in yellow, orange, and sometimes pink, which brighten gardens.
• It thrives especially in well-drained soils and sunny environments. The California Poppy is drought-resistant and can adapt to various climates, making it an easy plant to maintain in gardens.
• Its finely cut leaves and delicate flowers add a light and airy touch to borders, wildflower meadows, and rock gardens.
Uses:
• In the garden, the California Poppy can be grown in flower beds, rock gardens, or to naturalize wildflower meadows, thanks to its ability to self-seed and create beautiful flower carpets. It is also perfect for beautifying balconies and terraces when grown in pots.
• In food, although mainly used for its ornamental aspect, the California Poppy is not commonly consumed. Its seeds should not be confused with those of the opium poppy, which are used in food.
• In traditional medicine, the California Poppy is recognized for its relaxing and sedative properties. It is often used in herbal medicine to help soothe anxiety and promote sleep, thanks to its natural components that offer calming effects.
