Grow in borders, beds, and meadows, they also do well in containers. For bouquets, cut in early morning and singe the stem base with a flame to seal it before putting it in water. Grows about 16" inches tall, blooms profusely from June until first frost and is very easy to grow and will self-sow. California poppies are a favorite of gardeners in every state for rock gardens, flower beds, containers, and most anyplace that you want some easy color.
