Clarkia 'Mountain Garland' Flower, California Native

Renee's Garden Seeds-Native to California, Mountain Garland Clarkia is one of my favorite American wildflowers. The multiple flower stems are covered with ruffled ribbons of small blossoms shaped like tiny informal roses. Fluffy 2- to 3-foot-tall wands of color fill the late spring garden in soft shades of coral, salmon, rose-pink, lilac and white. Beautifully adapted to home gardens, the abundant graceful blooms are perfect for informal bouquets. Monet would have loved them in his gardens at Giverny! Botanical Name: Clarkia elegans

Instructions -As early in spring as ground can be worked, sow seeds 1 inch apart into a finely textured garden bed in full sun. In climates where the ground doesn’t freeze, sow seed in late fall for bloom the following spring. Cover very lightly, about 1/8 inch deep and keep soil moist as seedlings emerge. Weed and water carefully and thin before they get too crowded
