| cAROL, Also known as godetia and clarkia Amoena. They are usually in the pink shades, or burgundy shades, with an azalea type flower, very pretty and can grow, usually 1-3 feet. Depends on whether you have the "dwarf" or regular variety. I've grown them in pots using miracle grow potting mix, in my beds in part shade. Here's a pic of a pot of them from a few years ago. the farewell to spring godetia are the pink blooms in a couple of different shades. I've never had the burgundy shading ones. Fran

| Thank you,are they short bloomers?From the name, I am guessing, they only bloom in spring. If I plant them in pots, will they die out midseason? I just don't know what to do with them,lol cAROL |

| They will bloom from about late May into August here where summers are cool. Don't fertilize, or you'll get mostly foliage.... cool summers, average to poor soils. |

| I call it "Farewell To My Garden". Pretty flowers but it doesn't like it here - especially in really baking hot years. Lynda |
