Larkspur - Carmine

Larkspur germinate best when chilled for at least two weeks prior to sowing. As a rule storing Larkspur seeds dry in your fridge is also highly recommended.

If you have found your larkspur don't thrive over our wet winters, we have found waiting to sow ours till spring and planting very far apart, helps hold them back to flowering in early summer when it's usually (hopefully) drier and still not too hot, as a little sweet spot window for us.

In drier climates larkspur can be planted very close together (10cm) for quicker larger mostly one stem harvests, or alternatively at 22cm and pinched for more smaller (bouquet sized) stems.

All parts of these plants are poisonous, including the seeds. Wash hands after handling.
