White Linen California Poppy

White Linen California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica 'White Linen') is an elegant, refined selection of California's beloved state flower, celebrated for its large, 2–3 inch blooms of pure white with soft creamy yellow centers — a pristine, luminous color combination that brings a rare and sophisticated pallor to the classic California poppy. Where the iconic poppy is traditionally dressed in warm gold and orange, 'White Linen' arrives in cool, clean white — silky petals that shimmer like fresh linen in the sun and glow with quiet beauty above the signature blue-green, finely divided foliage. A fast-growing, free-seeding annual with deep California native roots, it blooms prolifically in the cool-to-warm weather of spring and early summer, self-seeding readily to naturalize and return with increasing abundance year after year.

These Professional Grade 4" plants are grown to the highest nursery standards, delivering well-rooted transplants that establish quickly in sunny, well-drained garden locations. White Linen California Poppy thrives in full sun with average to lean, well-drained soil and is notably drought tolerant once established — perfectly adapted to dry Mediterranean-climate gardens, coastal plantings, moon gardens, white-themed borders, and naturalistic landscape designs where its self-seeding, free-flowering habit is most appreciated.

• Large Pure White & Creamy Yellow Blooms: Exceptionally beautiful 2–3 inch silky white flowers with soft creamy yellow centers create a luminous, sophisticated display that brings rare, cool-toned elegance to wildflower meadows and mixed border plantings.
• Rare White Form of a California Classic: A distinctive and unusual color selection of the iconic California state flower — pure white blooms provide a stunning contrast in wildflower meadows and mixed poppy plantings alongside gold, orange, and purple varieties.
• Moon Garden & White Border Gem: The pure white blooms are especially stunning in moon garden plantings, white-themed borders, and evening gardens where their luminous quality glows with particular beauty in low light.
• Self-Seeding Naturalizer: Readily self-seeds in suitable sunny, well-drained conditions — naturalizing beautifully in garden beds, gravel gardens, and meadow plantings to return with increasing abundance each season.
• Drought Tolerant & Low Maintenance: Once established, thrives with minimal supplemental irrigation in lean, well-drained soils — an outstanding performer in dry California-climate gardens with minimal ongoing care requirements.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun with average to lean, well-drained to dry soil. Water regularly until established, then reduce to occasional watering. Blooms most prolifically in cool-to-warm spring and early summer weather; may rest in extreme heat and rebloom in fall. Frost tolerant once established — a true cool-season performer. Mature height 12–18 inches. Allow spent flowers to set seed for natural self-seeding and garden naturalization. Excellent for white gardens, wildflower meadows, rock gardens, dry borders, and coastal California plantings.
