White Linen Poppies are a stunning addition to any garden or landscape. With their delicate white petals and dark centers, they add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any outdoor space. These poppies prefer full sun and well-drained soil, making them an ideal choice for garden beds or border plantings. They also thrive in rock gardens, wildflower meadows, and cottage gardens.
White Linen Poppies can be planted in the spring or fall and will bloom in the summer months. They are easy to care for and require minimal maintenance, making them a great choice for beginner gardeners. Deadheading the spent blooms will encourage continued blooming throughout the season.

In areas that experience winter or frosts, plant wildflowers in the spring, after all danger of frost has passed. Locations that do not receive frosts can plant wildflowers anytime.
Sow seeds in fields, gardens, lawns, and meadows. Cleared, open spaces will grow more flowers.
Choose a planting day that has rain in the near future, so you don't have to water them. Plant them in full sun in an area that has good drainage. Scatter the seeds broadly around the space. Walk over the seeds to press them into the ground. Do not bury them; they need the sun to germinate.
Keep the soil moist without being soaked until they are 4-6” high. After that, natural rain is generally sufficient.
