Clarkia purpurea ssp. quadrivulnera |
 |
Wildflower native to California and the Pacific Northwest, whose wiry dark stems hold narrow leaves, with bicolor purple/pink flowers carried at the tips in spring. Like most clarkias, this one doesn't care for Houston's climate, so I failed to produce flowering plants on my first attempt – but I had better luck the following year, when several plants I had started in late winter flowered from March into April. They were nice enough, but died as soon as warmer weather arrived in May, and never made much of a splash. So they would be fine as self-seeding annuals, but I don't think it's worth starting them from seed indoors.
