Monthly Tip

California Poppies

Tip description

California poppy
The California poppy, seen on hillsides in late winter through early spring, can be grown in your own yard.

It can re-grow from a taproot or reseed itself rapidly throughout your garden and lawn, so consider whether this would be acceptable. If it is, seeds can be scattered now or with initial rains for vibrant color in a couple of months.
