Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Here is a rare Clarkia (aka Godetia) from Argentina. In fact, it is the only Clarkia species that is not native to North America. I only know that it grows to 1 ½' - 2' tall and is described as charming with blue cup-shaped flowers that are long lasting (as all Clarkias are) and borne all Summer. Being a big Clarkia fan, I am happy to get a hold of this one - hope you are too.
