Eschscholzia Mission Bells  is a Californian Poppy: very pretty with lacy foliage below the delicate single blooms: this mix includes white, red, yellow and pink shades

Flowers July to September. 

Height to 30cm

Annual

Price for 100 seeds

SOW & GROW: from mid-April onwards (late March in a mild area) where they are to flower, on open ground, barely covering the seeds.  They like a well-drained site in a sunny position. They look lovely in the border or a more naturalised setting. Once they are in flower try to deadhead them as this will prolong flowering

USES:

WILDLIFE

  • loved by bees & many other pollinating insects.  
  • Included by the RHS in their pollinators plant list

CUTTING

  • They also make a very pretty, but short lasting, cut flower:  if you sear the ends of the stems in boiling water then they will last a little longer (up to 5 days)
