Clarkia Elegans Double Flower is a hardy annual flower that is relatively easy to grow in home gardens. Clarkia hails from Onagraceae family of flowering plants, native to North America. This flower looks beautiful as hedge cover & as cut flowers. Bright shades of red, pink, & white, scarlet bulb of flowers create a densely filled flower bush that appears pleasingly elegant frilly, crepe-like look. The flower bulb is spectacularly large with scattered foliage and reddish tone in the stems which also makes for cut flowers that last comparatively longer. The plant grows to about 20 to 22 inches in full sun. The flower has been named after the great explorer Captain William Clark of the Lewis & Clark expedition fame to the Americas.
Planting instructions
Clarkia is sown the best after the last frost of spring is over. The direct sowing method is the way to go with these delicate plants since they don’t take well to transplanting. Pick a sunny area and well-drained soil to plant Clarkia seeds.
Gently sprinkle the seeds on the soil and allow them to germinate. This is known as the Surface Broadcast Method. Keep the soil moist until the seedlings start to form leaves. Thin the plants to 9 to 12 inches apart once the second set of leaves begin to grow from the seedlings.
To encourage flower growth, make sure that your garden is weed-free. Plant Clarkia seeds in an area of 3 to 6 feet wide if you wish to attract pollinators.
Growing Requirements

watering
