Clarkia tolerates cold well, so you can plant a flower immediately in the soil in early spring or before winter. It is believed that plants grown in this way are stronger and more resilient.
How to grow Clarkia
Small clarkia seeds are sown in nests of 4-5 pieces at a distance of 20-40 cm, but they are not buried in the ground, but lightly pressed against it and sprinkled with the thinnest layer of soil.
Shoots may appear as early as two weeks, and you will have to thin them out, but do not get carried away - blooming clarke in a dense bush looks more beautiful.
It is necessary to water the plant only during the dry season twice a week, and the rest of the time the Clarkia will have enough rain moisture.
Do I need to pinch the Clarky
When the seedlings reach a size of 13-15 cm, the plants are pinched.
After pinching, the Clarkia begins to branch more strongly, the plants become more powerful.
