Everwilde Farms - 1 lb Ivory Castle California Poppy Garden Flower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

These dreamy, white beauties will bring a bit of purity and romance to any flower garden. These wildflowers are the same beautiful shape and form as the common California Poppy but bloom with a pleasant ivory blossom. These poppies have a habit of opening and closing with the sun, appropriate for their native Golden State. The first member of the California poppy genus was identified in 1816 by German botanist Adelbert von Chamisso on an exploratory voyage to California and the Pacific Northwest. Chamisso named this genus "Eschscholzia" after a fellow botanist, Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz, who accompanied him on the journey. Nearly a dozen species of poppy grow wild in the western United States.
