What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Golden West is a California poppy with sunny yellow petals and orange hearts. Easy to grow and highly drought-tolerant, this cheery flower can bring a splash of color to almost any area. Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators are attracted to these lovely wildflowers.

  • Native to North America - This spectacular wildflower hails from California, and is drought and heat tolerant. California poppies can be grown as a perennial in warm climates, or as an annual in areas with frost.
  • Sunny Yellow Flowers - Saucer shaped flowers have four yellow petals with orange centers. They open and close at nighttime or on a cloudy day, and look best in mass plantings.
