Benefit:

Prefers poor soils

Characteristics:

A plant whose twig foliage is filled along almost its entire length with flowers in the shape of curly pompoms whose rich colours range from white to purple to pink and salmon.

Height: 50cm

Soil tip:

They appreciate soils that are infertile, fresh but well drained, slightly acidic. Overly fertile soil favours foliage over flowers.

Deco ideas:

Clarkias also grow very well in pots or planters and are very beautiful in indoor bouquets. Pair them with centaurs, lavaters, linens and marigolds.

The stages of sowing:

Sow from March to June in the open ground on the fly and cup the soil to bury the seeds very lightly.

Lighten several times, ripping out the smallest plants to obtain a final spacing of 20 cm between each clarkia necessary for good growth.
