ESCHSCHOLZIA californica 'White Linen' (California Poppy, White - White Linen)
Another remarkable variety is the California Poppy "White Linen," which is as rare as it is magnificent. "White Linen" is a great self-seeder that puts on a display of delicate paper-like petals, particularly when planted in large quantities. California Poppy thrives in large groups and looks fantastic in the greenhouse. It's one of the most obvious flowers that develop from seed. It's best to keep this plant away from livestock, other wildlife, and pets.
