I think one remedy for this is to remove all the infected parts and then spray the plant with a home pesticide like one that contains garlic, oil and soap.Piano Toyhttp://www.toypianostore.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086285745310021732.post-7296135346510436522011-07-16T08:43:11.045-06:002011-07-16T08:43:11.045-06:00Hi Melanie,

I didn't know the answer to this, so I turned to my friend Kathy at Blackfoot Native Plant Nursery (www.blackfootnativeplants.com) and here is her reply:<br />"Although Clarkia grows in hot, dry places, it is somewhat spindly and has few flowers in the wild.<br />Getting it to grow lush and getting it to bloom continuously (often for several months) means putting it in good soil (compost is one of its favorites) and giving it regular water, or at least keeping it somewhat moist.<br />I don't know about the black spots - usually that is an indication of a fungus or disease of some sort - and I've never had that on my Clarkia."<br /><br />I hope this helps!<br />DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389771525430735743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086285745310021732.post-57324357679275703172011-07-14T02:01:38.363-06:002011-07-14T02:01:38.363-06:00I’ve tried to plant clarkia but it didn’t grow per...I’ve tried to plant clarkia but it didn’t grow perfectly.
