Hundreds of these the garden. Is it a californian poppy?
Obviously self seeds, and roots go down very deep. Flower is poppy-like, yellow/orange.
Thanks
Yes, another seeding thug for your collection AlexX. Meconopsis cambrica, Welsh poppy
Thank you nutcutlet. I'm looking at the garden as a 'blank slate' now (or ir will be once I remove my thug collection)
I have learned a fair bit in the past 2 months - thank you for sharing your knowledge
I like these but you can have too many.
They self seed like crazy and form a long tap root. easily enough to pull out in sandy soil but a bu**er in clay. Pull off the old flower heads as they pass to stop them setting seed if you want them controlled.
