Clarkia

 

Clarkia is an easy to grow hardy annual that grows to around 500mm (18") high.

The many coloured flowers appear from July to September.

 

Week 14; Sow seeds in trays of seed compost and germinate at a temperature 10° - 12°C (50°- 54°F)

Germination should take three or four days.

 

Week 16; Prick out seedlings into cell trays or boxes of potting compost 50mm (2") apart, then place in a cold frame to harden off.

 

Week 20; Plant out 300mm (12") apart in a sunny spot.

Note; Avoid excessive feeding as this encourages leaf growth at the expense of flowers.
