Totally harmonious and at home in any native or cottage garden combo, I love ‘Purple Gleam’s’ single painterly flowers. Unique among the California Poppies, the lavender–rose coloring appears “brushed” on. The best Eschscholzia for pairing with lavender and primrose-colored bloomers. To 14” by 14”. Once established they need little water. To maintain as a perennial, avoid watering once leaves begin to dry out. Cut back dead growth to the ground once you see a flush of new growth. Will easily self-sow if plants are left in place.
