Farewell to Spring

June 20, 2014

Farewell to Spring growing in a native plant garden, Sunset Cliffs in Point Loma. I walk by it almost every day.

My mother recalls, as a child, seeing Farewell to Spring growing on the hills above Laguna Beach. Imagine the scene…

Also known as Elegant Clarkia (Clarkia unguiculata). Growing information here and here. It’s adaptable–coastal to woodland gardens.

Purchase seeds from Theodore Payne Foundation.

See it growing in the alley behind my edible garden here.
