Grace Salmon Clarkia Seed
Silky blooms on sturdy stems.
Each stem produces clusters of 1 1/2–3" wide, cup-shaped blooms. Sturdy stems and upward-facing bloom clusters work well as cut flowers. Bright, salmon-colored blooms add a cheerful and almost tropical vibe to mixed bouquets and arrangements. Supporting plants for straight stems is recommended. Also known as farewell-to-spring and satin flower.Specs:
