Clarkia 'Elegant Salmon'

Salmon Clarkia (Clarkia unguiculata)

Salmon Clarkia enchants with soft, warm salmon blooms that open from the base upward along striking purple-red stems, providing a long-lasting, graceful display. Flowers range from double to semi-double, with the occasional single bloom adding a touch of whimsical variation. The nearly foliage-free, sturdy stems make harvesting effortless, while basal-branching growth ensures abundant cut stems for bouquets.

A charming cool-season annual and valued spring cut flower, this Clarkia adds height, texture, and delicate, papery charm to garden borders or floral arrangements. Also known as Elegant Clarkia or Mountain Garland, it pairs beautifully with soft whites, blush pinks, and pale purples for romantic, layered bouquets or cottage-style plantings.

Transplant (recommended): Sow indoors 4 weeks before the last frost. Harden off before transplanting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Direct seed: Sow as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring. Gently press seeds into the soil surface—do not cover deeply, as light aids germination.

Seedlings prefer cool growing conditions and should not be exposed to temperatures above 21°C. High temperatures during development may result in weak, spindly stems.
