Clarkia 'Elegant Salmon'

Beautiful salmon blooms are strung along striking purple-red stems, opening from the base upward for a long-lasting display. Blooms range from double to semi-double, with the occasional single flower. The nearly foliage-free, woody stems make harvesting easy, and the basal-branching plants provide excellent stem production.

A recommended spring cut flower variety, Clarkia is a charming cool-season annual known for its delicate, papery blooms. A member of the Godetia family, it adds height and dimension to any bouquet.

Also known as Elegant Clarkia and Mountain Garland.

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.
