About This Item
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.
