Ben, I will only be able to give a serious opinion once the seeds of the purchased plants have germinated and then produced the expected flowers. As for the iris, for now, it finds that the temperatures are not too ideal to show a bit of its leaves. See you later, then.

Description
California poppy 'Bridal Bouquet Mix' also known by its latin name Eschscholzia californica, is an easy-to-grow, spreading annual. Its flowers are semi-double or double and display solid-coloured or multi-coloured streaked petals. The blooms renew themselves abundantly from June to September.
It gets its main common names (Californian Poppy, Paper Flowers, American Poppy) from the resemblance of its flowers with those of its cousin, the common poppy, as well as from its West American origin where it abounds in rocky expanses.
Californian Poppy 'Bridal Bouquet Mix' is usually used at the front of the beds, in rock gardens or in pots on the patio because of its small size (25cm). It contents itself with any type of soil, even dry, poor ones but it prefers lighter soils to heavy ones.
It self-seeds freely and although the plant fears frost, the seeds do not, so from year to year it forms beautiful, natural-looking beds. Sometimes it can even become invasive.
A position in full sun will encourage blooming.
Their cut flowers will allow you to make short-lived but lovely bouquets.
Its melliferous flowers will attract bees and hoverflies to your garden, making them an undeniable ecological asset.

Planting and care
Sow California poppy directly from March to May, in rows 15cm apart. Cover the seeds with 1cm of fine soil and water regularly. The seeds will sprout in 15 to 20 days. Sow in succession, every fortnight from March to May, to ensure regular and abundant flowering from June to September. By sowing under glass in February at 15-20 °C, you can obtain young plants ready to be transplanted after the last frosts and have your first flowers as early as May. The taproot that the plant develops makes it very difficult to transplant successfully. It is therefore preferable to prepare your young plants by sowing them in pots.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
