DaisyI said:Although considered annuals, California Poppies are actually perennial. When they start looking ragged and crispy and the seeds have sprung, cut them back to a couple inches above the ground instead of pulling them up. They will re-grow for a fall show as the weather starts to cool.


According to most sites, including the Flora of North America, they can be perennial or annual. Of course, the fact that one can get them to rebloom in the same season is evidence for neither. Smiling
