Eschscholzia californica
Alba

Soft, romantic, and glowing with creamy white blooms, Eschscholzia californica ‘Alba’ is a luminous twist on the classic California poppy. Satin 2–3" flowers open above low mounds of finely cut blue-green foliage, creating a fresh, elegant drift that pairs beautifully with nearly any garden palette.

Also known as white California poppy, this easy native annual is perfect for wildflower gardens, dry borders, pollinator plantings, meadow-style beds, containers, and sunny pathway edges. The creamy white blooms are especially lovely with soft blues, greens, pastels, grasses, lupines, baby blue eyes, yarrow, and other California native flowers. Long-blooming and relaxed, it brings a clean, glowing look without fuss.

Plant Eschscholzia californica ‘Alba’ in full sun with well-drained soil. It thrives in lean soil but also performs beautifully with light care, and deadheading can extend the bloom season. Allow seedheads to mature if you want it to self-sow for future displays. Explore more native charmers in our California Native Annuals collection.
