about this variety

delicate golden-orange flowers with gentle sedative and pain-relieving properties. californian poppy has been used traditionally to promote restful sleep, ease anxiety, and relieve mild pain.

these cheerful blooms are easy to grow and self-seed readily, creating drifts of color in the garden. the whole plant can be used fresh or dried for teas, tinctures, and herbal preparations.

non-addictive and safe for regular use, unlike its opium poppy relative.
