Care guide

Larkspur prefers a fertile, alkaline to neutral, well-drained soil in full sun. Choose a sheltered spot and stake well after planting. Apply a liquid feed every 2 weeks in the growing season. For best flower spikes thin shoots when 8cm (3in) tall to leave a minimum of 2-3 shoots.

Deadhead by cutting spent flower spikes back to small flowering side shoots as this will encourage further blooms.

Planting requirements

  • Larkspur can benefit from a period of cold period to sowing - pop the packet into a fridge for a week before sowing onto the surface of moist, well-drained seed compost from February to June, or September to October under glass. Sow in small pots or seed trays and keep at a temperature of around 10-15°C (50-59°F).
  • Germination should occur in 2-4 weeks. Transplant seedlings into a cell tray and grow on into smaller pots, hardening off and planting out when the risk of frost has passed. Larkspur can be directly sown into a well-prepared bed from late April.
