Larkspur Seeds for Tall, Elegant Garden Blooms

Larkspur (Consolida ajacis) is a classic cottage garden flower known for its tall, dramatic flower spikes and soft, romantic colours. Grown from larkspur seeds, these annuals produce airy spires of blue, lavender, pink, and white blooms that add vertical interest to garden beds, borders, and cutting gardens. Their nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, making them a beautiful and ecologically valuable addition to the garden.

Larkspur thrives in cool weather and performs best when direct sown outdoors in early spring. Once established, plants develop strong stems and bloom generously in late spring to early summer.

Growing Larkspur from Seed

Larkspur grows best in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil, producing tall, elegant spikes that are ideal for cut flower arrangements.
