For malcolmia, well-draining, moderately fertile soil is ideal, complemented by a location offering full sun to partial shade. Water needs are moderate, with care taken not to overwater. Start by tilling the soil, enriching it with compost, and ensuring proper spacing. Plant seeds or seedlings, covering lightly with soil, and water gently. Mulching can retain moisture and prevent weeds. Acclimatization is important for transitioning young plants outdoors. Note that individual malcolmia species may have varied requirements.
