Clarkia (Clarkia Unguiculata) - Clarkia has beautiful pastel flowers, and it is easily grown from wild flower seeds in all regions of the United States. Originating in California this variety now produces an array of pink, salmon and hues of purple. Colors are most striking when planted in groups. This wildflower gets up to 30 inches tall and blooms from May through July. Clarkia tolerates a wide variety of soil conditions but does not like heavy clay. Sow wild flower seeds 1/16 inch deep once soil reaches at least 65F degrees. Keep moist until plants are established. Plant in groups and thin to 9 inches apart .
This annual will grow quickly from flower seeds, bloom heavily, and then it will die with frost. Clarkia will drop its own flower seeds, and the seeds will produce plants the following growing season. Blooms in just 8 - 10 weeks after sowing the flower seeds.
