How to Grow:
Direct sow seeds outdoors in mid-May, repeating once or twice at two-week intervals. Plant seeds 3 mm deep, keeping the soil moist during the 7 to 14-day germination period. Thin seedlings to 25 cm apart once they reach 5 cm in height. While Clarkia thrives in sunny locations, light afternoon shade benefits plants in regions with hot summers. Maintain consistent watering, especially during droughts.
Clarkia is perfect for summer gardens, bringing elegance to fresh and dried floral arrangements.
