Eschscholzia californica, California Poppy Seed Balls
Attract bees, butterflies, and birds to your backyard with California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica). This much-adored wildflower produces vibrant orange blooms early in summer and grows up to 2 feet tall. If planted early with no frost, sometimes you'll have a second round of flowers in the late summer or fall! Attracts numerous pollinators, including bumble bees, honey bees, mining bees, and butterflies. Readily self-seeds where frosts are gentle. A cheerful US native wildflower for pollinator and habitat gardens.

ABOUT SEED BALLS
Seed balls (seed bombs) are 1/2-inch balls of dried soil and seeds. Essentially, they are pre-planted seeds. They are great for no-till gardening and beautifying neglected landscapes. Sow by pressing the seed ball halfway into the surrounding soil. Plant in habitats in need of biodiversity. Non-GMO. Pesticide free.
A seed ball protects seeds from erosion, foraging, and harsh conditions. This protective property often results in higher but slower germination rates. Please be patient with your seed balls. Placed in the appropriate soil and climate, they will grow.
