CLARKIA SEEDS REDSPOT 150 CLARKIA SEEDS IN SOUTH AFRICA

Clarkia speciosa, sometimes known as redspot clarkia. Clarkia speciosa blooms late spring - early summer. Clarkia speciosa is a   perennial.  Clarkia is a plant that is named after William Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedition, because it was discovered growing in the western U.S. by members of the expedition. Features: The clarkia's flowers can be single or double and measure from 50 TO 100MM across, and the colors can range from deep rose to lilac, light pink to white. Clarkia can grow to a height of about 60cmt and a width of about 20cm. Environment: Clarkias need sandy soil and either full sun (6 hours of sunshine a day) or partial shade (4 to 6 hours of shade a day). They are native to the forests of the Northwest and do better in cool rather than hot areas. Planting: Clarkia seeds can be sown directly in the garden in early spring. When the seeds sprout, thin them out to one every 15 to 20cm. Flowers will appear in about 3 months. Care: Water enough to keep the soil moist, but not soggy until the flowers appear--then cut back on watering. When the plants are15cm  in height, pinch back the tops. This will make them branch out.
