Of three clarkias I grew last year (c. amoena and c. elegans as well as this one), this was by far my favorite. It was much smaller and gentler but had a wonderful delicate beauty. It also bloomed for an incredibly long time - steady bloom with no deadheading from early July into October. Did well in a partially shady spot.
