Grace Shell Pink Clarkia Seed
About this variety
A white and shell-pink godetia.
Grace Shell Pink has clusters of cup-shaped flowers 1½–3" across, white blushed with shell pink.
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.

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.
