Clarkia unguiculata, Mountain Garland
Out of stock
A beautiful annual, Mountain Garland is an easy-to-grow California wildflower. It has tall, thin stems, narrow leaves, and four spade-shaped petals in various shades of pink, fuchsia, salmon and sometimes white. It blooms in summer, when many wildflowers are finished for the year. Butterflies, moths, and bees are attracted to its flowers.
It can be combined with native grasses and other wildflowers that appreciate part shade but will also take full sun. Sow seeds in fall and let the rain do the rest. It reseeds easily; allow it to self-sow in fall before cutting back dead stocks. Grow this clarkia in the middle or back of a flower bed where its tall, whimsical flowers make a charming backdrop.
