How to Sow and Plant


Sow seeds on the surface of well-drained soil and lightly press them in without covering deeply. Keep the soil slightly moist until germination occurs. Choose a sunny outdoor location or start seeds indoors in trays before transplanting. Space seedlings adequately to allow spreading growth and proper air circulation.

How to Grow

Grow Zauschneria Californica in full sun for best flowering. Water moderately during early growth, then reduce watering once established, as the plant is drought-tolerant. Avoid heavy or waterlogged soils. Minimal fertilization is required. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage healthy regrowth.
