Eschscholzia californica
DESCRIPTION
A wonderfully sweet poppy-like flower with shimmering silky leaves that shift in cream and pink. Easy to grow and spreads freely from year to year. The name comes from the fact that the flower closes in the evening.
Sömntuta is a so-called hardy annual, i.e. a summer flower that can withstand some frosts and therefore can start to germinate early in the season without suffering damage. These varieties can be sown in the fall, which saves you both time and space in the spring when everything is much more intensive with the cultivation.

Growing location : Grow outdoors, in a pallet collar or larger pot on the balcony in a sunny-partially shaded location.
AT SOWING
Direct sow outdoors when the soil has warmed up in spring APRIL-JUNE. The sow thistle can also be sown in autumn in SEPT-OCT for early flowering the following year. Water the soil thoroughly before sowing. Poke the seeds about 0.1 cm into the soil with a distance of 20 cm between each seed and 20 cm between each row. If you sow more densely, you can thin out when the plants have emerged.
Mark the sowing with markers. Specify the variety and date.
Water carefully from above so as not to wash away the seeds. Keep moist during germination.
DURING THE SEASON/OTHER TIPS
Water regularly throughout the season if it doesn't rain. It's better to water more and less often than to water a little every day.
Clear weeds that come up between the plants.
HARVEST FESTIVAL
Harvest and enjoy. Approximately 2-3 months after sowing, the harvest festival begins. Regularly remove excess blooms for a longer flowering period.
