Fourspot Clarkia (Clarkia purpurea spp quadrivulnera) Seed Packet WW

This sweet clarkia has a slightly smaller bloom than Clarkia amoena - but is arguably more floriferous. What it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in number of blooms and cuteness! Lavender-pink to purple blooms occur along long flower stems (spikes). There are multiple flower-stems per plant and each petal is often marked with a darker spot at the petal's edge. It's a delightful addition to your wildflower meadow or pollinator garden. And it's casual flair is well suited for cottage style gardens.
