An outstanding variety and one of the best red Eschscholzias we’ve seen, Californian Poppy 'Red Chief' consistently performs well and maintained its velvety red colouring over several years in our trails. Blooming all summer long above a neat mound of silver, ferny foliage, this really is an eye-catching plant to display all around the garden, in pots, borders, gravel garden and rockeries. Let it seed and it will return year after year in spectacular, natural drifts. If you’re gardening with wildlife in mind, Californian Poppy is brilliant for bringing in bees and hoverflies. Culinary note: Fresh or dried leaves can be used to make a herbal tea which is known to be soothing and relaxing. For more details about edible flowers
