These seeds are very small, so I can't reall give an accurate count. I would say 50+.

are they easy or hard to start? how tall do these get? do they come back or do you have to replant or let them reseed themselves?

lol I see how tall now, I was looking at 2 different pages at the same time and the other one didn't have how tall they grew, sorry, but if you don't mind I still need to know if they are easy or hard to start, and if they are annuals, and need to be left alone to reseed, or not. Thanks

How to Plant CLARKIA Seeds

Direct sow into prepared seed beds that have been cleared of weeds and have had the top 1 inch of soil loosened. Rake seed in lightly. Press into soil by walking over area. Keep moist. Can be started indoors in 2 inch pots

Comments: Full sun or part shade, light shade in hottest climates. Keep soil moist at all stages of growth. A hardy annual which can be started in early spring everywhere and in the fall or spring in mild winter climates. Deer and rabbit resistant. Attracts hummingbirds.
The directions also said to loosen the soil, spread the seed with a rake, cover with soil and walk over area to set the seed. These flowers grow 2 to 3 feet tall. They are annuals, but you could collect the seed to use the following year.
A friend of mine gave me the seeds from her plants. She had a large area of them planted. She had bachelor buttons planted around the clarkia and shorter flowers planted around those. It was very pretty.
Yes, there will be 50+ seeds . They are very small and I'm taking several pinches of the seeds. The bachelor button seed auctions will have 25+ seeds each. I hope this info helped. Please ask more questions if you want. I want you to be happy bidding on my auctions. Thank you
