This native California annual that produces large bowl-shaped pale-pink outer petals and more vibrant red centers, requires more water to begin germination but then thrives on very little water once established. As the name implies, this plant blooms as the summer begins. Each evening the petals close and then reopen in the mornings. Be sure to sow where you wish these to stay, as these flowers do not do well when transplanted. These flowers make wonderful planter and potted arrangements, Found often in border area.
