Notes
'Grace Salmon' clarkia (Clarkia amoena 'Grace Salmon') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Silky salmon blooms sit on sturdy stems and attract butterflies and bees. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Plants stay low, so you can place them near the front of a bed.
Pairs well with Garden balsam, Red fescue, and Drumstick primrose.
