"Reseeds" is an understatement. I planted a few seeds 3 years ago, and they keep coming back with such a vengeance! I had to move a nearby coreopsis before they could conquer it completely. It's nice to have such a reliable patch of them every year; they have smothered the area around my lilies and are great filler for after the lilies bloom. I have to remove the occasional seedling that pops up 20 ft away, but it's a small price to pay for their flower power.

From your friends at Botanical Interests, inc.: We were blown away when a supplier sent us photos of a field of California Poppy 'Mission Bells'! A confetti of color - the beautiful, silky saucer-shaped pink, rose, red, orange, white and yellow, double and semi-double flowers look best when planted in large groups. The plants are drought-tolerant, once established. This variety is perennial in USDA zone 7 and warmer, but may reseed itself in cooler climates. This native U.S. wildflower is an excellent choice for "naturalized" or wildflower plantings and for soil erosion control.
