Eschscholzia californica var. maritima

Meet the coastal queen of California poppies! This maritime variety features the classic golden-orange blooms we all love, but with extra resilience for coastal conditions. The silvery-blue foliage is more compact and robust than inland varieties, creating beautiful contrast with the brilliant orange flowers. Blooms spring through fall with incredible drought tolerance once established. Perfect for naturalistic gardens, wildflower meadows, or anywhere you want that quintessential California look. Self-sowing annual that keeps giving year after year!
