Tips to Grow Clarkia

  1. Arrange good quality clarkia seeds.
  2. The soil should be evenly moist, but not wet or soggy. Fill the container with a good quality organic compost in the soil with a ratio of 2: 1.
  3. Plant the seed 0.2 inches deep in the soil. Be sure only 2 seeds per container.
  4. We can add vermicompost in the soil around plants for better growth.
  5. Harvesting stems when the lower set of blooms is just beginning to open. Older blooms will drop off the stem within about 5 days. Unopened buds on the stem will continue to open up in the vase.
