The propagation success I didn't expect with California Poppy

I started with one California Poppy and now have four, all from propagation. The process is straightforward once you understand allowing plants to set seed before cutting at the end of season — something I picked up from trial and error rather than any guide.

I display them in a roadside or verge planting in a community space which shows off exceptional wildlife value for bees, butterflies, and hoverflies at its best. early spring bulbs and annual seedling germination is when they're most impressive. dog walkers or trampling on unmown meadow areas has been my main challenge across all of them, but it's manageable now that I know what to look for. A genuinely generous plant if you let it be.
