California Poppy: Frequently asked questions
What types of California Poppy are there and what determines a good product?
The most important factor is the color of the petals. A good California Poppy should be a bright orange-red, with no yellow or brown spots in it. It should also have lots of stamens and pistils (the male and female parts). Another aspect to look for is whether there are any buds on top that haven’t opened yet; if so, they will open up into more flowers later in the season.

Who should use a California Poppy?
Based on what criteria should you buy a California Poppy?
The California Poppy is a very common plant, and there are many varieties. So it’s important to know what you have before deciding if it needs treatment or not. There are three main types of poppies in the state – Papaver californicum (California poppy), Eschscholzia californica (the original native species) and Eschscholzia lobbii (a hybrid between P. californicum & E.californica). All three grow wild throughout much of California, but they can also be found growing as ornamental plants in gardens throughout the state too. It’s important to note that all 3 look similar when young; however once mature only one will produce bright orange flowers with black centers while the other two do not flower at all. If your plant has started flowering then chances are its either an E.lobbii or Pc variety which means we don’t need to treat for this pest because these 2 aren’t affected by our product anyway – see below for more information on how you can tell them apart from each other though.
