The state flower for California is the California poppy, Eschscholzia californica. This is a cool season wildflower that tends to grow on south facing slopes throughout the state. It is not fond of particularly fertile soil but it does grow in agricultural fields if they are sufficiently well drained. Plants are often found growing on cliff faces as well as grassy hillsides in the southern part of the state. They often blend with blue lupine and may appear along arid roadsides early in the season from sea level to higher mountain elevations.
This is a small clumping plant that grows from seed during the winter rains to bloom in golden blossom during the spring. It will die back to the ground by summer. Some individuals will go dormant and survive another year, sprouting from the roots, but most do not.
Their preference for stony well drained soils makes them difficult to grow in the garden. They must be sown while it is cool and moist in the winter. Tiny seed needs little to no cover.
