It is best to avoid moving this plant. The Matilija Poppy has a sensitive root system and strongly resents being transplanted, so choose a permanent spot in your garden before planting.

The Matilija Poppy has a rhizomatous growth habit, meaning it spreads via underground stems. Give it plenty of room to colonize, as it can grow quite wide over time.

Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant and requires minimal summer water. It is an excellent choice for dry slopes or low-water landscapes.

No, this plant is considered deer resistant. Its foliage and growth habit are generally unappealing to local deer populations.

To produce its signature 'fried egg' flowers, this plant requires full sun. Ensure it is placed in an area that receives direct sunlight for most of the day.
