Like the Dreamsicles we used to go crazy over back when I was a kid, ‘Apricot Chiffon’ California poppies are deliciously gorgeous anywhere! Single to semi-double 2.5” peachy blooms suffused with apricot & a touch of rose, appear in profusion above a soft, ferny mound of foliage. Plant it with Penstemon heterophyllus 'Blue Springs' or Nemophila menziesii "Baby Blue Eyes" for a heart-melting Springtime combination. To 14” x 14”.
