Mexican Gold Poppy

WF035A

Eschscholzia californica ssp mexicana

These showy orange to yellow flowers that open on sunny days are a favorite harbinger of spring in the Sonoran desert. The most popular, most photographed golden desert wildflower. For low Sonoran gardens, plant in fall to early spring. Mexican poppies can be stubborn and usually need a big cool-season rain to germinate. This subspecies of the California poppy is native to desert areas in AZ, NM, CA, TX, CO, UT and NV. Drought tolerant, self-seeding, prefers well drained soil and full sun. Not from our Seed Bank Collection, but your purchase supports our conservation mission.

Best!

Reliable seed germination into vibrant little beauties that naturalize every year. Love them!

Difficult plants!

No success with growing them. From a whole package of seeds, 2 germinated. Shortly after, leaf cutter ants attacked my front yard of native garden plants, including these seedlings! I don’t think this is Native Seeds’ fault - I think they just are difficult to grow to order.
Meanwhile right now the road leading up to Madera Canyon in the Santa Ritas is looking magnificent with them, as we’ve never before seen large areas carpeted with them. Wish I could get them growing here in Green Valley!
