Does your California poppies flop over after they become so heavy? I have some that are planted in front of border and they are heavy with blooms but are almost leaning over on the sidewalk..Maybe if I planted something else same height in front of them, would that help? They have all been wintersown and are usually the first sprouts I see. This year I wintersowed "Thai silk" variety so I'll have to wait till next year to see any blooms..It is really easy to mistake them for weeds, just like I did the Primroses that showed up that I didn't plant.
Larkspurs have been so beautiful this year that I planted last year..my only complaint is that they just get way too tall..are looking for shorter varieties and think I have found two sources..hope I don't forget to order those seeds. easy to grow! I've been transplanting some of the newbie sprouts..some make it, some don't, and when the seed pods show up, I am clipping those and just laying them on the top of the soil where I want them to grow, keeping them watered, and hoping that my experiment works.
