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.
