Started seeds beginning of March. The germination rate was high. They are hardening off now. Can't wait to see what happens.

Your patience during the hardening off process is going to pay off big time when you see those gorgeous flower spikes start opening up. Keep on growing 🌻️
- Lorraine C.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars4/3/26Clarkia and Scaniosa
This is my first introduction to the plant Clarkia, and first seeding.
I have not seen a good germination so far, but it's early yet, and the starting mix is not the best.
However, the Scabiosa are doing very well.
I will most likely order from Botanical Interests again. I had no problem with ordering, or timing of receipt of product..

Thanks for giving our Rosy Cheek to Cheek Clarkia Seeds a try for your first time growing this beautiful flower! Don't worry about the slower germination - Clarkia can sometimes take a little extra time and patience, especially with different starting mixes. We're glad to hear your Scabiosa are thriving though! It sounds like you had a great experience with your order and we'd love to have you back as a customer. Hopefully those Clarkia will surprise you and start popping up soon! Keep on growing 🌻️
