Grace Mix Clarkia Seed

Item #HSC-CLA-002-PKT

A bright mix of silky godetia.

Grace Mix has clusters of cup-shaped flowers in pink, magenta, salmon and white on each stem.

Upward-facing clusters on sturdy stems work well in bouquets and give mixed arrangements a cheerful, almost tropical touch. Support helps keep stems straight. Also called godetia, farewell-to-spring or satin flower.

Flowers about 75–85 days from sowing, on plants 18–24" tall. Open-pollinated.

Quick Facts

Growing times vary with weather, soil and local conditions.

Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Sow shallow, grow cool

Cover 1/16"; keep seedlings under 75°F.

Direct sow early

As soon as soil can be worked; thin to 6–12".

Net for support

Sun or part shade, average soil.

Buds keep opening in the vase.

Growing Information

Days to germination

About 5–10 days at 65–70°F (18–21°C).

Starting indoors

The best method. Sow 4 weeks before planting out and cover with about 1/16" of mix. Grow seedlings cool, around 60–65°F (16–18°C) by day and 50°F (10°C) at night and never above about 75°F (24°C); heat makes stems weak and spindly. Harden off and plant out after the last frost.

Direct sowing

As soon as the soil can be worked, press the seed in and cover with about 1/16" of soil. Keep the surface moist until seedlings appear and thin to 6–12" at the first true leaves.

Light

Full sun; tolerates part shade.

Plant spacing

6–12". A horizontal net helps hold plants up.

Hardiness

Annual.

Stem length

12–34".

Vase life

7–10 days.

Harvest

For Clarkia unguiculata, cut when the lowest flowers are just opening; older flowers drop after about 5 days while the buds keep opening in the vase. For Clarkia amoena (godetia), cut when the first flower on the stem opens.

Soil

Average soil that drains well.

Uses

Cut flowers, pollinator plantings and borders.

Packet

50 seeds.

Seeds per oz.

About 89,300 on average.
