Description
Named for Capt. Clark of Lewis & Clark, the clarkias are some of our most beautiful natives. This is the large-flowered single clarkia usually called “godetia” in the seed trade, and also nicknamed “Farewell-to-Spring.” The brilliant color of this wildflower makes it one of the showiest of all in meadows. For a double-flowered related species, see C. unguiculata.

"Very quick shipping. Love this seed supplier."
Pretty but short-lived
"For me, these were just okay. I planted them in the front of two beds in full sun. They were short plants, perhaps 6 to 8 inches tall. They started to flower in June and they stopped flowering when it got hot in July. The flowers were pretty, but each plant didn't produce very many. My beds looked nothing like the photos in the description. I suspect Godetia thrive under cooler weather and with more water. Though I watered frequently, it did not rain much in the summer and I could not water enough to compensate for the drought. I would probably not plant these again. Instead, I might try Sweet William, which has a similar color palette but perennializes. If I did plant these, it might be in a container, where I could water more frequently."
Godetia Queen
"There were about a bazillion seeds in the 1/4 lb of seeds so I gifted my neighbors and they to have had spectacular results. The Godetias germinate quickly and since I have a number of bulb beds that need summer color I treasure their cheery reds and pinks. Godetias don't seem to need much to thrive. I do fertilize them with a soluble fertilizer a couple of times per season and that really pumps them up. A few plants self-seed and some over-winter and they are the first blooms. I have them in beds and containers where they perform beautifully and require only minimal water."
Godetia seeds
"I had done an extensive burn of brush in an area that needed some cheerful display of springtime flowers. The Godetia was a great choice; germination was outstanding and the result was lovely. I would not hesitate to recommend American Meadows; in fact I will be ordering more seeds this fall for the expectation of joy seeing beauty."
Spectacular!
"Spectacular display! This is the second year that I've planted these seeds in lean clay soil in full to part sun. I broadcast them, stomp them into the ground, cover them very lightly with mulch to confuse the birds, and water once a week. They have a good germination rate, and if you water them 1x a week during the summer, they'll bloom for months. The hot pink color and variation in the individual blooms make for a great, cheerful display. The neighbors look forward to seeing them each year."
