Wild Mountain Garland
Wild Mountain Garland is the wild grown form of Clarkia unguiculata, with pale to bright pink to lavender to white petals atop 2 – 5 ft. tall stalks, making it the tallest of the Clarkia species. Spreads up to 3 ft. wide.
This form has larger blossoms more wide spread along the stem, and bloom continuously from mid-summer to early fall, as new blossoms open at the top while older blossoms at the base of the flower stalk go to seed. They are a bee magnet and are one of the longest-lived cut flowers, lasting over a month in a vase!
Perfect companion plant for chaparral shrubs, pollinator gardens, oak understories, and fits beautifully in back borders mixed in with lower growing flowers.
