Sowing

Sow outdoors where they are to flower. Before sowing, prepare the ground well by raking until the soil is fine and crumbly and remove any large stones. Sow 12mm (1/2") deep, in rows 15cm (6") apart, or scatter seed in beds or borders as a gap filler and lightly cover over. Thin out the seedlings when they are large enough to handle, to about 15cm (6") apart
Water regularly until plants are fully established. Deadhead faded Eschscholzia flowers to prevent them from self seeding.
