White Linen California Poppy

Eschscholzia californica

Conventionally Grown

Delicate white petals with yellow centers.

This gorgeous poppy's soft, white petals reflect a golden light much like linens hung to dry in the sun. Its prolific blooms and nutrient-rich pollen make it a favorite of bees. Self-sowing and drought-tolerant. Meadow or naturalized landscape plantings are especially effective. California poppies bloom from early summer into fall, but will take a break during heat waves. Adds elegance to rock gardens and borders.

Growing instructions
Direct sow; do not transplant. Press seeds into bare, moist soil very early in the chill of spring. Keep soil moist, but not wet, especially when the days begin to warm and the soil is prone to drying out. Poppies can withstand crowding, so only thin if seedlings emerge less than 3" apart. Slow to start, but should take off once plants are 4" high. California poppies will bloom in several flushes and self-sows readily, so be sure to let some flowers go to seed. (Tip: to make broadcasting easier, mix seeds with sand.)

Honest to god, I’ve tried for YEARS to grow poppies & have failed until this year with these lovelies! Since I wasn’t sure I’d be successful, I sprinkled the seeds on the surface of a large container & imagine my shock when the tell-tale fern like foliage sprouting up! These were so fun & have lasted all summer as I continue to deadhead them (zone 6a MA). We had an extremely hot summer here in the Northeast so I’m not sure if that helped with my “success” or if I would’ve seen even more blooms had it not been so hot. The blooms are very dainty & delicate & close up at night or if the weather chills, & reopen the following day. I experienced most blooms lasting 2 days on average with 3 days being the max. The honey bees LOVE these! I’ve never seen so many honeybees surround a single bloom in my life! It was truly a sight! Give these a try if you’ve tried like me to grow poppies & didn’t have success in the past. These will be winners!
