How to Propagate Clarkia?
Primary propagation of clarkia is through seeds. Sow seeds in well-draining soil under partial shading with a temperature range of 60-70°F for optimal germination. Water evenly but avoid excess moisture. Since clarkia seeds need light to germinate, press them gently onto the soil surface rather than covering them. Difficulty is generally low; however, care must be taken not to overwater. To propagate, follow these steps: 1) Gather clarkia seeds after flowering, 2) Prepare pots with soil mix; moisten lightly, 3) Press seeds onto soil surface, 4) Expose pots to bright, indirect light, 5) Keep soil damp, not waterlogged, 6) Thin seedlings once mature enough to handle, and 7) Transplant outdoors after frost danger passes.
