| Few flowers are more beautiful than the abundant, free-wheeling native California Poppy, but this new rosy-red and white selection puts its humble cousin to shame. Not only are the flowers much bigger (3 inches!) and more colorful, they are also semi- to fully double and much, much more abundant over a long season. If you're looking for a carefree, distinctively beautiful ground cover or container subject, rely on this sun-lover. The flowers have the crinkly, satiny texture so beloved of Poppies, yellow-centered and streaked and striped in rose and red among the white. They may remind you of the popular favorite Thai Silk Mix, but all have the same combination of colors. They appear beginning in early summer and continuing for many weeks through the middle of the season on plants just 10 inches high and 12 inches wide. 'Wrinkled' Rose is marvelous in containers as well as the sunny garden, so floriferous that the foliage is nearly hidden for weeks at the height of the season. You will fall in love with its glossy look, its combination of soft and bright shades, and its generous flower power. Give this native plant a try! Packet of 100 seeds. |
