Satin Flower

Honeybees forage on Clarkia amoena for nectar and pollen during its bloom from late spring to summer, offering a reliable food source in coastal habitats when many other wildflowers have finished. Peak bloom occurs in June through August, supporting bee activity into the season's end. As an easy-to-grow annual, it thrives in full sun and dry conditions but needs reseeding each year to maintain populations.
