GODETIA (Satinflower) [hA] This native California plant is 

 especially suited to situations in partial shade and thrives 

 even in rather poor soil. The tall double sorts are suitable 

 for the border and make fine cut flowers which last a long 

 time if gathered before fully expanded. As brilliant low 

 border plants the single sorts are desirable for they carry 

 a mass of blooms. They are easily grown from seed in 

 the open.

 flowers are nearly covered by the stiff over- 

 lapping petals. They come in a wide range of 

 brilhant and soft colors.
