‘Thai Silk Apricot Chiffon’ offers a unique, softly colored take on the classic California poppy. Its satiny, apricot-toned flowers have a delicate sheen that adds subtle elegance to spring plantings.

Blooming in cool-season conditions, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, especially in areas with lean or sandy conditions. Like other poppies, it performs best with minimal fertilization and low water.

This variety is ideal for wildflower mixes, borders, and naturalistic plantings where it can be allowed to reseed freely. Its fine, blue-green foliage provides an attractive backdrop to the luminous flowers.

Once established, it requires little care and often returns in subsequent seasons through self-sowing. A great choice for gardeners seeking soft color and easy performance in low-water gardens.
