Planting and Sowing Instructions:

1. Preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. These plants prefer dry, sandy soils, but they are adaptable to most soil types. If your soil is heavy or clay-based, consider improving drainage with organic matter.

2. Sowing the Seeds:

   • Direct sow the seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

   • Gently rake the soil surface and scatter the seeds, pressing them lightly into the soil (do not bury too deep).

   • Space the seeds about 6-8 inches apart for optimal growth.

3. Watering: Water gently to moisten the soil, but avoid overwatering, as these plants are drought-tolerant once established. Keep the soil slightly moist during the germination phase.

4. Care: After germination, thin out the seedlings if necessary to ensure they have enough space to grow. Eschscholtzia flowers do best with minimal care and attention, thriving in well-drained, slightly dry conditions.

5. Harvesting: You can cut the blooms for bouquets once they are fully open, but for a longer blooming season, allow some flowers to self-seed.

Growing Tips:

• Pink Eschscholtzia flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, making them a great addition to a pollinator-friendly garden.

• While these flowers are hardy and low-maintenance, they do benefit from occasional deadheading to encourage more blooms.
