'Strawberry Fields Poppy' California poppy (Eschscholzia californica 'Strawberry Fields Poppy') is an annual for borders, containers, and meadows. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. Drought and salt do not bother it. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
