🌸 Californian Poppy ‘Ballerina’
🌸 Botanical Name: Eschscholzia californica
🌸 Type: Hardy Annual

Californian Poppy ‘Ballerina’ is a refined and colourful twist on the classic wildflower, featuring semi-double, silky blooms in a lively mix of orange, rose, cream, and gold. The ruffled petals and soft grey-green foliage give this variety a light, airy elegance, perfect for meadow-style planting, dry borders, and low-maintenance spaces. ‘Ballerina’ thrives in poor, well-drained soils, tolerates drought, and self-seeds freely for naturalistic charm year after year.
