Farewell-To-Spring

Farewell-to-Spring (Clarkia amoena) is an annual forb native to Western US states (such as Washington, Oregon, and California) that can thrive in USDA Zones 6–10 as a spring/summer annual. Reaching a mature height of 1–3 feet with an upright branching growth habit, it features narrow, lance-shaped green leaves and produces cup-shaped pink, magenta, or lavender flowers often marked with a central crimson spot. It thrives in well-drained, sandy to loamy soils on sunny coastal slopes and dry fields and is ideal for annual wildflower meadow plantings, highway corridor revegetation, and native bee support.
