Clarkia amoena or the SatinFlower is a popular cool climate annual with lance shaped mid green leaves and upright stems.
In late spring to early summer they produce four petaled, cup or funnel shaped flowers in a variety of satiny colours from red to white, pink and lilac that are up to 5cms wide. They usually feature a contrasting central splotch or edge stripe to each petal.
Flowers can be single or double and always delightfully colourful.
They will grow in warmer climates but will always be their best in cooler summers with medium to low humidity.
Perfect for mixed borders and pots and planters.
