Notes
'Lady Marmalade' California poppy (Eschscholzia californica 'Lady Marmalade') is an annual for borders, containers, rock gardens, and meadows. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. It forms a clumping mound and grows at a rapid pace. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers, and it tolerates drought and salt. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Blue grama, Gaura, and Dense blazing star.
