Mikado Red California Poppy Seeds – Native Wildflower with Scarlet Blooms for Meadows & Pollinators

Mikado Red California Poppy Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds produce vibrant, sun-loving blooms with rich red-orange petals that bring bold color to gardens and natural landscapes. Each saucer-shaped flower features four silky petals that open in sunlight and gently close at night or during cloudy weather, creating a dynamic display throughout the day.

Native to North America, Mikado California Poppies are exceptionally drought and heat tolerant, thriving in poor or sandy soils where many other flowers struggle. They are especially effective in mass plantings, meadows, and wildflower gardens, where their vivid color creates sweeping, eye-catching displays.

Depending on climate, Mikado poppies can be grown as a short-lived perennial in warm regions or as a self-seeding annual in areas with winter frost. Their pollen-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, making them a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes.
