ESCHSCHOLTZIA
Hardy perennial
A decade or so ago the predominant colours found in Eschscholtzias were
yellow and orange, but in recent years a number of new and very
attractive shades have been introduced, with the result that this plant
is now regarded as indispensable for
summer bedding and for borders. The
modern practice is to grow Eschscholtzias as annuals, sowing in the open
during March and April. As the seedlings do not readily transplant, the
seed should be put in where the flowers are wanted. Thin out in due
course, allowing each plant ample space for development. Sowings may
also be made during September, from which the plants will bloom in
advance of those raised in spring.
