About This

• This tall, graceful annual, Delphinium consolida, is commonly referred to as Larkspur. It is a great summer performer! This variety, Lilac Spire, has double lilac colored blooms and lovely lace-like foliage. They give weeks of color as they bloom from the bottom of the spike up. Protect these tall flowers from wind by staking so they do not break.
• This Larkspur is a 3 - 4 foot tall annual growing in USDA zones 3 - 10.
• Larkspur is often used in fresh floral arrangements, and it dries nicely keeping its color for dried arrangements. The seed needs to have a cold treatment before planting. Using a damp paper towel, place the seed on the towel and place it in a plastic container with a sealable lid. Keep the seed container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. Remove from refrigeration and plant the seed directly outdoors in a prepared seedbed.
• Sowing Rate: 2 - 3 seeds per plant. Press the seed into the soil and lightly cover. Keep the seed moist continuously. With a temperature of 55F, germination is usually within 28 days. Space the plants 12 - 18 inches apart.
• Grow in full sun to partial shade and in moist, well-drained soil. Larkspur is usually resistant to deer. They easily reseed themselves. Deadhead spent flowers if reseeding is not desired. Both the Larkspur seed and plant are poisonous.
