Clarkia Elegant White Seeds

A graceful and easy-to-grow annual with delicate cup-shaped blooms in pure white.

 

Elegant Clarkia White forms upright branching plants with slender stems and narrow green foliage, producing a profusion of crisp flowers from early to late summer. Its airy habit and clean colouring make it ideal for cottage gardens, borders, and informal floral displays.

 

This drought-tolerant annual thrives in full sun and well drained soil and is perfect for low-maintenance planting, wildflower meadows, and cut flower gardens. It attracts pollinators and adds a soft, fluttering texture to mixed plantings.
