Larkspur Seeds

Larkspur is a hardy annual that sends up tall, graceful spires in shades of purple, blue, lavender, pink, and white. It needs cool soil to germinate. Sow it outdoors in fall in most areas, or chill the seed in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks before an early spring sowing. The QIS series offers uniform, tall stems for production. Fancy Smokey Eyes and Misty Lavender bring softer, smoky tones. Pink Queen fills in the pastels. Cut when a third of the florets are open. Stems also dry well upside down for winter arrangements.
