Limnanthes Douglasii is an annual that is native to California. Commonly called Poached Egg Plant. It grows great as a ground cover, or as a container plant.

Plant directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed.

Plant in full sun, with fertile, well drained soil from sandy loam to clay soil.

• Sow seeds directly into the garden at a depth of 1/8 inch after the risk of frost has passed.
• Approximately 1,000 seeds covers 20 square feet. Or 3 - 4 seeds per plant.
• Space plants 24 inches apart in garden.

• Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating.
• Mulches play a vital role in preserving soil moisture and ensuring consistent soil temperatures. When it comes to annuals, using organic mulch made from shredded leaves not only enhances the appearance of the bed but also enriches the soil as it decomposes over time. Remember to keep mulch away from the plant stems to avoid potential rot issues.
• Water every week. Increase frequency of watering during dry spells or drought.
• Deadhead flowers to encourage further blooms, or to prevent the plant from self-seeding.
