Title: Re: Glaucim flavumGl



That's what happens.  They are now on the decline.  If you allow them to remain until the seed pods are dried and open, they will reseed themselves.  You can also cut them back to the base and you might get a second sprouting of leaves adn flowers.  Otherwise, bid them a fond farewell until next year.  Nan

Is that what  will happen to my Glaucium flavum too? Some of my plants (from Nan's seed) have acted like perennials and lived over last summer decorating the dry garden with their frilly silver leaves. Volunteer seedlings have been moved about wherever I needed them and are all going strong.  But the parent plants are beautiful in bloom for the second year as well.

People ask me what they are all the time since they are adjacent to the street and really gorgeous with the blue Lavendula multifidas, aloes and Convolvulus mauritanicus.

Glaucium flavum is a biennial for me in Northern Calif.  It usually dies after flowering, but throws plenty of seedlings. And my poppies are still going strong, and there are young ones still growing. They flower until July here with some water, and often come back from the roots the next spring.
