Fragrant PopcornflowerPlagiobothrys figuratus

Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot.

Water more frequently during hot, dry periods and reduce watering in cooler months or when the plant is dormant.

Pruning is generally not required for Plagiobothrys figuratus. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage more blooms and prevent self-seeding if unwanted.

Remove any yellowing or dead foliage to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent disease.

Plagiobothrys figuratus is easily propagated by seeds. Sow seeds directly into the garden in autumn or early spring, or start them indoors a few weeks before the last frost.

Scarification may improve germination rates for some species.

As an annual or short-lived perennial that often self-seeds, repotting is typically not necessary. If grown in a container and seeking to prolong its life, repot in fresh, well-draining potting mix in spring before new growth begins, using a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
