Why choose native plants? Pacific Northwest native plants know how to live here and how to thrive here. They often need much less water and less fertilizer. They spread slowly and are not invasive. They support a wide diversity of wildlife. And best of all, they look great!
A distinctly different clarkia, its signature blooms—known as “diamond” flowers—have four pink petals that exhibit a beautiful range of shades and patterns, creating a subtle variation in color that adds interest to any planting. The flowers are typically modest in size but vibrant and distinctive. Petals are often speckled with darker shades of purple. Diamond Clarkia can grow up to 3 feet tall, making it a graceful mid-height plant well suited for wildflower borders, meadow mixes, and naturalized garden areas. Its blooms attract native pollinators, including bees and butterflies. With late spring blooms, it’s a great plant for any site sun or shade with medium to dry soils.
