Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings once established.

Reduce watering in cooler months, as the plant's growth slows.

Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming and prevents the plant from putting energy into seed production. Remove any yellowing or dead foliage as it appears to maintain plant health and appearance.

Minimal pruning is typically needed beyond this.

Orlaya daucoides is best propagated from seed sown directly into the garden in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. It dislikes transplanting, so avoid starting seeds indoors.

Seeds can also be sown in autumn for earlier spring blooms.

As Orlaya daucoides is an annual and dislikes root disturbance, repotting is not applicable. It is typically grown from seed sown directly into its final garden location or in containers from which it will not be moved.
