Sowing & Growing
Sow Eschscholzia seeds directly outdoors in the desired growing location from March to May or in September for overwintering. For autumn sowings, expect flowers to bloom in late spring. Choose a sunny spot with poor, well-drained soil that has been finely raked. Sow seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm (1/2″) in drills spaced 15cm (6″) apart, covering them with soil to exclude light. Regularly water the soil, especially during dry periods, and anticipate germination in 14-21 days. Once the seedlings are sufficiently large, thin them out to a spacing of 15cm (6″). Alternatively, for indoor cultivation, sow California poppies indoors between February and March at a temperature of 15-21C (60-70F). After the seedlings reach an appropriate size, transplant and nurture them in cooler conditions until they are ready for outdoor planting.
