Perfect for borders, cottage gardens, wildflower plantings, and cut-flower arrangements. It is related to the flowers once sold as Godetia.

Clarkia Seed Mix FAQ
When should I plant clarkia?
Cold regions (zones 3–6): sow in early spring. Warm regions (zones 8–10): sow in fall to bloom in spring. Clarkia fades in summer heat.
Should I start clarkia indoors?
Direct sowing is best since it dislikes root disturbance.
Does clarkia need rich soil?
No. Lean, well-drained soil gives more flowers; too much fertilizer makes leafy plants.
Is it good for cut flowers?
Yes. Cut stems when the first buds open; the rest keep opening in the vase.
