HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow Farewell to Spring seeds on the surface of the soil in early spring, after the last frost. Keep the soil moist until germination, which should take place within 7-10 days. This plant does not transplant well; seedlings can be thinned, though they tolerate crowding.

Growing: The plant needs well drained soil and adapts to seaside conditions, sand, and clay. Keep seedlings free of weeds; water regularly until blooming begins, about 90 days after planting. After this point the plants can tolerate drought, though they do not appreciate excess heat. Pinch off the growing tips to encourage branching and bushy growth. Deadhead spent blossoms. As the plants grow taller, they may need staking or support. This plant usually self-seeds. This plant makes a good addition to flower beds, borders, containers, rock gardens and native wildflower plantings. This plant attracts bees and butterflies.

Harvesting: For long lasting fresh flowers, cut the stems long and place them in water immediately.

Seed Saving: After flowering, this plant will produce narrow pods that mature to a dark brown; the ripe seed will also be brown. Collect the ripe pods and spread them out away from direct sunlight to dry completely. Split the pods open to remove the seed. Store Clarkia Amoena seeds in a cool, dry place.

Farewell to Spring

I had native Farewell to Spring growing in the wetland barrier behind my house last summer. I ordered these seeds in hopes of having them in my garden. I had no trouble ordering and the seeds arrived quickly. Now I'll have to wait for them to sprout and grow. Even though I'm anxious to see how they'll do, I'm not anxious to bid Farewell to Spring…it has barely arrived. So l will wait and review again when I see their beautiful blossoms.

The Bus Stops Here

The city recently added a concrete pad to improve wheelchair access to the bus stop next to my house. The construction resulted in the area near the bus stop being filled with sand. I'm adding flowers and grass for a low maintenance meadow look near the stop.

Love the seed packets

I ordered quite a bit of seed, so will leave a comment on just one. The foil seed packets are wonderful! Nice pictures and very informative labeling. The prices were very reasonable and the shipping was prompt. I will report more when I start planting the seeds.

DESCRIPTION

IN-STOCK ORDERS SHIP WITHIN THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY. These satiny, cup-shaped flowers are a lovely herald of summer and are native to the west coast. This annual wildflower is excellent for flower beds, borders, containers, rock gardens, and native plantings.
This plant's genus name, "Clarkia," was given in recognition of Captain William Clark of the historic Lewis & Clark Expedition in 1806. The species name "amoena" means beautiful or pleasing. Another old fashioned name for this flower, Godetia, honors a 19th century Swiss botanist by the name of Charles H. Godet. In the wild, this plant only grows in coastal areas of the western United States; it usually can be found growing on dry slopes, meadows, or rocky areas.
