The name says "California" but this beauty will grow most anywhere. The vibrant orange, cup-like flowers add casual beauty along a fence line, en masse in a flower bed, or when naturalized on slopes or hillsides.  A staple for erosion control mixtures, roadside plantings, and restoration projects,  it's great in rock gardens too. Tolerant of some filtered shade, it’s lovely under California oak trees.

During a light breeze, a large planting will have the flower heads gently swaying as a group. It attracts butterflies, honeybees, and other pollinators too! The fabulous display of color is a showstopper, but it is not for cut flower use because the flowers close at night.

California Poppy seeds are easy to grow and plants can readily reseed for next year - just like the famous California Poppy Fields in the Antelope Valley where super blooms are spectacular! (See photo above).

In the springtime, plants generally flower about 55 days after sowing the seed.

Native to the western United States, California Poppy is the state flower of California and is a member of Papaveraceae family.

Available in single packets and as bulk wildflower seeds.

A Brief History of California’s State Flower – The California Poppy

Found along the entire western coast of the United States, California Poppy grows as far north as Washington state and as far south as Mexico. It has also established itself in southern France, Australia and Chile, and can be grown as a garden flower in most  areas of the U.S.

The flower is usually golden orange, and is referred to as “golden poppy,” hence its designation as the California (Golden State) flower. It was selected as the state flower by the California State Floral Society in December 1890, but the state legislature did not make the selection official until 1903. April 6 is designated as California Poppy Day. 

Horticulturalists have produced many cultivars with a range of colors, blossoms and stem forms. However, these cultivars will typically not breed true on successive reseeding and will need to be replanted to see the cultivar's unique features. 

California Poppy is drought-tolerant, self-seeding, and easy to grow in gardens. It is best grown as an annual, in full sun and sandy, well-drained, poor soil. Under irrigation it can act as a perennial. 

Interesting fact:  The genus “Eschscholzia” is named after Johann Friedrich Gustav von Eschscholtz (1793-1831), a German naturalist and entomologist who was an early explorer of the Pacific region.

So affordable
I’m honestly so impressed with this hand lotion! From the first use, my hands felt instantly softer and deeply moisturized without any greasy residue. It absorbs quickly, which is perfect for busy days, and leaves my skin feeling smooth for hours. The scent is light and refreshing—not overpowering at all—and it actually makes using it feel like a little self-care moment. Even after washing my hands, I can still feel the hydration lasting. If you struggle with dry or rough hands, this is definitely worth it. My hands have never felt better—easy 5 stars!

If you have very dry skin that is thin you might consult your Doctor first.
This product is nice however I have thin skin and if ones skin is too thin It really had some property that actually made my dry skin slough off as it Soaked in. I would not recommend it if you are older and have thin skin or use a medication that might make your skin particularly thin. The first time I used it Ionly used one application, However the next time I put one coat on then because my skinn felt like it was too dry I applied another and as I rubbed it it seemed that my skin wad rubbing ogg and looked like when you wash mud off.

Great moisturing hand cream, especially those with calluses
I first tried this Hand Cream from my mother. Not only does it have a very pleasant soft smell, but it really does work well. I walk with canes so i build strong calluses on my hands. I am rough with my hands. they get dried out as well. This Hand Cream really did make my hands feel better after the first use. I took my time to and rubbed my hands together for a little while to make sure it was absorbed. Once it did, my hands felt good. I plan to purchse these again as soon as I run out.

One of my new favorite lotions.
I just discovered this lotion and I love it. It’s rich but not greasy and it soaks in very quickly. It doesn’t feel hexx as by but leaves your sad kin feeling very moisturized. I’ve even used it on my face when it was feeling very dry- works great. Wish it came in a larger tube but this size is great for my purse and travel or if I want to add a little something to a gift. I would highly recommend.

Several GREAT stocking stuffers!
Every friend & family member LOVED receiving their Vaseline Hand Cream, and I received a loud, happy "thank you" from all recipients. Not only did they make for lovely, useful gifts, but the price was just right! And I was as pleased with their approval, as they were with their gifts! So thank you, Vaseline!!!
