Poppies Appear in the Sage Meadow


Without a care, this month the annual orange California Poppies marched right through the purple perennial Bees Bliss Sages. With a color combo so stunning one can forgive the arrogance of the poppies and the reticent nature of the sages. The ever-silver Canyon Prince Giant Rye Grass agrees.

The Formula:
7 ea - Bee's Bliss Sage (Salvia 'Bee's Bliss) planted 4-5' apart
1-2 ea - Seed Packet of California Poppies sprinkled starting in Nov. or w/ the rains
3 ea - Canyon Prince Giant Rye Grass (Leymus condensatus 'Canyon Prince') planted 4-5' apart
