Poached Egg Plant - seed
Limnanthes douglasii
APPEARANCE : Compact annual with golden yellow-centred white cup-shaped flowers. Plants are self seeding meaning you'll be seeing these flowers for many years to follow.
PLANTING: Plant year-round in most locations in Australia avoiding extreme cold and heat, check the seed pack for detailed info on planting in your area. Sow seeds direct into their final position, scattered or in formal rows, cover with a light layer of soil and keep moist. Thin seedlings if they become crowded & replant elsewhere. Plant in free draining soil in a full sun location for best flowering. Preparing garden beds with well composted manure will give the best results.
CARE: Water seedlings regularly until established and continue to provide water especially during dry spells. Mulch plants to keep the roots cool in summer. For an extra long flowering season, remove spent blooms often and feed with liquid fertiliser. Tolerates light frost once established.
