Eschscholzia californica. Rich glowing-orange satiny flowers 2” wide, and silvery, fernlike leaves on 8-24” plants. Tolerates light frost and drought, blooms all summer with minimal water. Non-narcotic sedative, tea or syrup for coughs. These don't care for clay, so if your soil is heavy, work in some compost and some gravel. You find these on sandy or gravelly, well-drained soil, so give them drainage and they will often live for several years. Best planted in fall in areas where the ground doesn't freeze solid; early spring in colder zones. Taprooted--best to sow in place. 600 seeds
