How to prune eschscholzia californica 'thai silk rose chiffon'

Deadhead throughout the bloom season; cut back after first flush in mild climates. Snip spent flower heads at the base of the flower stalk to reduce seed set and redirect energy to new buds. After the first main flush, cut stems back by half to just above basal foliage to encourage regrowth.
