California Orange Poppy is native to western North America. Early Spanish settlers called it 'copa del ora' (cup of gold) after the legend that the orange petals, turning to gold, filled the soil with the precious metal. They are considered to be sedative, analgesic and antispastic and used for the treatment of anxiety and to induce sleep in patients affected with insomnia. This is an annual poppy so save the small seed heads and scatter again the following year. Prefers full sun and dry soil. Approximately 100 seeds.
