How to grow Pink Farewell to Spring seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, though direct sowing gives sturdier plants.
• Outdoors: Direct sow in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or in fall in mild climates.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining seed-starting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Surface sow — press seeds gently into the soil but do not cover, as light aids germination.
• No pre-treatment needed.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light for seedlings; full sun to light shade outdoors.
• Temperature: Cool conditions suit it best; germinates well at typical room temperature.

Germination

• Seedlings emerge in 7-14 days.
• Keep the seedbed evenly moist until germination.

Transplanting

• Thin or transplant to 6-12 inches apart.
• Handle seedlings gently — clarkia dislikes root disturbance.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun in cool climates; afternoon shade where summers are hot.
• Water: Water regularly until blooming begins; established plants tolerate drier soil.
• Fertilizer: Avoid rich soil and heavy feeding — over-fertilized plants grow leggy with few blooms.
• Pinch the growing tips of young plants to encourage branching.
• Deadhead to extend the bloom season; taller stems may need support.

Bloom Time:

Blooms late spring to early summer, roughly 90 days after sowing.
