With spires of blush pink florets on strong, upright stems, this variety is a favourite for adding height and delicacy to floral arrangements. Blooming well before many other cut flowers, larkspur is ideal for cool-season sowing and is a must-grow for spring weddings, cottage gardens, and drying.
Best for: Early spring cutting, vertical structure in bouquets, drying for everlasting florals.
CAUTION - All parts of the Larkspur are poisonous including the seeds so be cautious when handling.

| Sowing Tips |
Sow in autumn (March–May) in mild climates, or late winter (July–August) in cooler areas. Cold stratification recommended: chill seeds in the fridge for 1–2 weeks before sowing. Direct sow or start in deep trays – larkspur dislikes root disturbance. Cover seeds lightly with soil – they require darkness to germinate. |
| Growing Tips |
Prefers full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Support is recommended—tall stems can bend in wind or rain. Water regularly but avoid overwatering in heavy soils. Harvest when one-third of the flowers on the stem have opened. Excellent for drying – hang upside down in a dark, airy space. |
