Larkspur Mixed (Delphinium spp.)
General Description
Larkspur (Delphinium spp.) is a stunning annual or perennial flowering plant known for its tall, elegant spikes covered in delicate, vibrant blooms. Native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, Larkspur has been cultivated for centuries in cottage gardens and formal landscapes. The Larkspur Mixed variety offers a beautiful assortment of colors, including shades of blue, pink, purple, and white, making it an excellent choice for adding vertical interest and charm to any garden.
Plant Characteristics
Larkspur grows between 60 and 150 cm in height, depending on the variety. It features deeply lobed, fern-like foliage and tall, upright flower spikes adorned with single or double blossoms. The flowers, resembling small spurred helmets, bloom from late spring to early summer, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Larkspur thrives in cool weather and is often used in meadow gardens, borders, and floral arrangements due to its long-lasting, cut-worthy blooms.
Taste and Benefits
Larkspur is not an edible plant and should not be consumed, as all parts contain alkaloids that can be toxic if ingested. However, it is highly valued for its ornamental beauty, pollinator-friendly properties, and use in dried flower arrangements. Historically, certain species have been used in traditional remedies, but modern cultivation focuses primarily on decorative applications.
Cultivation Recommendations
Larkspur prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil. Seeds should be sown directly in the garden in autumn or early spring, as they require a period of cold stratification for optimal germination. Lightly cover the seeds with soil and keep them moist until seedlings emerge, typically within 14 to 21 days. Staking may be required for taller varieties to support the flower spikes. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged blooming, and consistent watering during dry periods helps maintain healthy growth.
Uses and Benefits
Larkspur is widely used in ornamental gardening for its striking vertical blooms and vibrant color mix. It is a staple in cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, and floral borders. The plant’s flowers are highly prized for cut arrangements and dried floral crafts, retaining their color and form beautifully. Additionally, Larkspur provides an essential nectar source for bees and other beneficial pollinators.
Packaging
The seeds are carefully selected and packed in moisture-resistant packaging to ensure high germination rates and long-term viability.
