Annual. Blooms from spring to summer. 3’ - 5’ tall. Full sun. Tall spires of densely packed light and dark blue flowers. Excellent plant for the back of the flower bed or against a wall or fence. Blooming begins in the cool weather of spring and early summer, but may continue through fall. Considered one of the best flowers for cut and dried floral arrangements.
There is a legend that Larkspur originated during the battle of Troy. When Achilles was slain, a warrior named Ajax was expected to get his armor, an honor for the bravest warrior. When he unexpectedly didn’t get it, he took his own life, and where his blood spilled, a small blue Larkspur began to grow.
Prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil that is slightly alkaline.
OUTDOORS: Sow in early spring as soon as soil can be worked.
INDOORS: Sow 6 - 8 weeks before last spring frost. Does not transplant well. Sow in peat pots to minimize root shock. (We recommend sowing directly outdoors.) Seeds require darkness to germinate. Be sure to cover to 1/4" depth.
