Godetia - Clarkia Amoena also known as satin flower or silk flower
These are lovely, long lasting annuals that I got in a seed swap a few years ago. I save the seeds for future years and to swap. Godetia grows well in containers or right in the garden. They come in a variety of colours. Seeds and seedling
Sow godetia seeds outside in the garden and cover with the smallest amount of soil. The seedlings need thinning, else the plants will not develop properly. They prefer partial to full sun and well drained soil. You can sow the seeds indside 3 to 4 weeks before your last frost date. After blooming the seed pods develop. Let dry on the plant until they start to open. Pinch the pods off and the seeds will sprinkle out into a dish.
