Notes
'XL Jelly Beans' California poppy (Eschscholzia californica 'XL Jelly Beans') is an annual for borders, containers, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. It forms a clump, grows fast, and tolerates drought and salt. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
