Clarkia Garland Flower Double Mix

3000 seeds 🗓️ When to Sow Outdoors (recommended): Cool climates: Sow in early spring, as soon as soil is workable. Mild/warm climates: Sow in fall or late winter for spring bloom. Indoors: Start 4–6 weeks before last frost, but Clarkia prefers direct sowing due to its dislike of root disturbance. 🌱 How to Sow Site Preparation Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Clarkia tolerates poor soil but prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH. Sow the Seeds Scatter seeds on the soil surface. Lightly press them into the soil — do not cover deeply (light helps germination). Optional: Dust lightly with a fine layer of soil or vermiculite (~1 mm). Water Gently Mist or water with a fine spray to avoid washing away the seeds. Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) until germination. Germination Conditions Temperature: 60–65°F (15–18°C). Germination time: 7–14 days. 🌿 After Germination Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin to 6–10 inches apart. If starting indoors, transplant gently, handling the rootball carefully to avoid disturbing roots. Support may be needed for taller varieties in windy areas. 🌼 Growing Tips Sunlight: Full sun to part shade (more shade-tolerant in hotter climates). Watering: Water during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Feeding: No heavy fertilization needed; too much nitrogen = fewer flowers. Deadheading: Not essential, but can prolong blooming.
