California Poppy (Eschscholzia Californica White Linen) - Start Poppy seeds and grow this lovely white version of one of the world's favorite drought tolerant wildflowers. The Poppy flower is solid white, silky, saucer-shaped and measures 2 - 3 inches across. This Poppy blooms best in the cool weather of spring. White California Poppies are great for mixed borders, or stunning when planted in a mass grouping on the garden edge. Grows 12 - 15 inches tall, blooms profusely with finely divided blue-green foliage. How To Grow Poppy Seeds: Sow the Poppy seeds and rake the soil covering the seed about 1/8 inch deep, and keep the soil moist after planting until the flower seeds germinate in 14 - 28 days, depending on the temperature. Thin Poppy seedlings to about 12 inches apart. Decrease watering after the plants begin to flower as these flowers are known for water conservation. California Poppies are easy to grow, and will self-sow. If you allow them to go to seed you may only need to plant them once.
