Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required for seeds.

Sowing:

Outdoor Sowing:

Direct sow seeds after the last frost date, or in early spring when the soil can be worked.

Scatter seeds over prepared soil that has been raked smooth.

Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover with soil as they require light to germinate.

Water gently to settle the soil around the seeds.

Indoor Sowing (Optional):

Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost.

Use seed trays filled with a good seed starting mix.

Scatter seeds lightly on the surface of the mix and press gently to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

Place trays in a warm location (around 65-70 °F / 18-21 °C) and keep them moist but not waterlogged.

Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted outdoors.

Germination:

Germination usually occurs within 10-14 days when temperatures are consistently warm.

Transplanting:

When seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them into well-draining garden soil or containers.

Space plants 6-12 inches apart, depending on desired density.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering:

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.

Deadheading:

Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage new flower growth.

Pest and Disease Control:

Monitor for pests like aphids and caterpillars; use insecticidal soap or other organic methods as needed.

Ensure good air circulation to prevent powdery mildew.

Winter Care:

Eschscholzia Thai Silk Rose Chiffon is typically treated as an annual. In colder climates, it may not survive winter; however, it readily self-seeds in favorable conditions.
