    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Nothing says meadowy to me like California native annual “Tufted Poppy,” with its soft-to-the-touch, tidy and ferny foliage and sweetly scented Primrose flowers. Plant these here and there for maximum meadowiness and you’ll be ever so pleased with the effect – really! Prettiest in average to rich soil. Self-sows. To 10" x 12".
