Planting Instructions:

1. Soil Preparation: Choose a location with well-draining soil. California Poppies prefer sandy or loamy soil but can tolerate poor soil conditions.
2. Sowing: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall. Scatter the seeds lightly on the soil surface and press them gently to ensure good contact. Do not cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate.
3. Watering: Water the area lightly and keep the soil moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-14 days.
4. Spacing: Thin seedlings to about 6-12 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Growing Tips:

• Light Requirements: California Poppies thrive in full sun and require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
• Watering: Once established, these flowers are drought-tolerant. Water sparingly and allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
• Fertilization: California Poppies do not require much fertilization. Over-fertilizing can lead to excessive foliage growth with fewer flowers.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the plant from going to seed too early.
• Pest Control: These plants are generally pest-resistant, but monitor for aphids and treat with insecticidal soap if necessary.
• Pruning: No significant pruning is needed. Simply remove dead or damaged foliage to keep the plant tidy.
