Godetia (C. H. Godet, Swiss botanist). Onaqraceae. Mostly erect annuals with very showy flowers in leafy racemes or spikes.
Calyx-tube obconic or funnelform; petals rose, lilac- purple or white, often marked with a large deep crimson or purple spot; stamens 8; ovary 4-celled, inferior: fr. a many-seeded caps. — Twenty or more species in the western parts of S. and N. Amer., especially Calif.
Seed may be surface-sown in the late fall in order to be covered by the rains which follow, or in February lightly covered in sunny or in half-shady places. G. amoena is very popular and furnishes an abundance of bloom in early summer when many late spring annuals have succumbed to advancing heat. In the wild garden the species come again freely but have a tendency to move to new ground after the second year.
