Description

An exquisite colour, a rave for flower arrangers, soft apricot pink with a touch of white. With excellent vigour and free flowering over a very long season, the tall plants also mix well in perennial borders. Lovely for cutting. Grow in full sun. Flowers summer. Height 1.2m (3-4ft).

Sowing Instructions

Sow in spring where they are to flower in well cultivated soil. Sow thinly 6mm (¼in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart. Clarkias sown in late summer/autumn and overwintered in a frost free greenhouse make excellent spring/summer flowering pot plants.

Aftercare

Clarkias prefer a deep, rich soil and will grow in sun or part shade. Remove the flower heads as the petals fall to prolong flowering.
