Tall, graceful, and richly coloured, Larkspur ‘QIS Blue’ produces strong spires densely packed with vivid violet-blue blooms. Bred for uniformity and long, straight stems, it’s a favourite with cut flower growers for its reliability and striking colour in both fresh and dried arrangements. Flowering in the cooler months, it adds height and elegance to garden borders and bouquets alike.
Best for: Fresh and dried arrangements, vertical accents, cottage gardens, cool-season colour.
CAUTION - All parts of the Larkspur including the seeds are poisonous so be careful when handling.

| Sowing Tips |
Best sown in autumn (March–May) in mild areas or late winter (July–August) in cold climates. Cold stratification helps: refrigerate seeds for 1–2 weeks before sowing. Sow direct or in deep trays; transplant carefully as larkspur dislikes root disturbance. Cover lightly – darkness aids germination. |
| Growing Tips |
Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Benefits from support to protect tall stems from wind damage. Regular watering helps flower development but avoid overwatering. Cut when the lowest flowers on the stem start to open for best vase life. Excellent dried – harvest early and hang to preserve colour. |
