Planting and care

Place Clarkia pulchella Snowflake in a slightly acidic, low-fertility soil to prevent excessive foliage development at the expense of flowers. Avoid overly hot or humid conditions and choose moist, well-drained soil. Plant them 6mm (0in) deep with a spacing of 30cm (12in) between each plant. Sow Clarkia Snowflake from March to June for it to bloom from June to September. Sow it in September for flowers from May to July of the following year. In overly humid conditions, Clarkia can be susceptible to collar rot, root rot, and stem rot.
