California Poppy Purple Gleam

Eschscholzia californica. Purple Gleam is a rare and captivating twist on the classic California poppy, blooming in soft lavender-pink to mauve tones with a silky sheen. These cup-shaped flowers catch the light beautifully, creating a dreamy effect against the plant’s finely cut blue-green foliage. This variety brings an unexpected splash of pastel color to rock gardens, borders, and wildflower mixes.

Tough yet delicate in appearance, Purple Gleam thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Drought-tolerant and easy to grow, it’s a favorite for pollinator-friendly gardens and low-maintenance spaces. Let it naturalize for waves of romantic, shimmering color from spring through summer.
