About Outsidepride Larkspur Pink Queen - 1000 Seeds

This tall, graceful annual, Delphinium consolida, is commonly referred to as Larkspur. It is a great summer performer! This variety, Pink Queen, has frilly pink blooms and lovely lace-like foliage. Protect these tall flowers from wind by staking so they do not break. Larkspur is often used in fresh floral arrangements, and it dries nicely keeping its color for dried arrangements. The seed needs to have a cold treatment before planting. Using a damp paper towel, place the seed on the towel and place it in a plastic container with a sealable lid. Keep the seed container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. Remove from refrigeration and plant the seed directly outdoors in a prepared seedbed. Press the seed into the soil and lightly cover. Keep the seed moist continuously. With a temperature of 55F, germination is usually within 28 days. Space the plants 12 - 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade and in moist, well-drained soil. Larkspur is usually resistant to deer. They easily reseed themselves. Deadhead spent flowers if reseeding is not desired. Both the Larkspur seed and plant are poisonous.
