Californian Poppy ‘Mission Bells’ are compact bushy plants with feathery leaves and single or semi-double flowers in mixed colours - white, yellow, orange, pink or red.

If successive sowings are made you will have blooms from July to September.
An autumn sowing will give you earlier and stronger plants next summer.
