Planting instructions
Sow the seeds about ¼ inches deep in rich, well-drained soil and cover the seeds with loose soil. Dark & moist environment is ideal for growing Larkspur.
Ideal germination temperature should range between 8 to 13 °C. The seeds should germinate within 2 to 3 weeks. Larkspur plants develop tap roots once they grow and are not ideal for transplanting.
If the soil in your garden is heavy or clay-like, amend it before planting with compost or manure.
Growing Requirements
Pests
Larkspur tends to have the same issues that of delphinium flowers. Most common pests that can affect the plant are snails, slugs, powdery mildew and root rot. Slugs and snails can be combated with a strong hose. To address other issues, remove the infected part of the plant or use organic neem spray.
soil
Light, well-draining soils with a pH ranging between 6 to 7 are ideal to grow Larkspur flower.
spot
They will grow best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade as well.
temperature
Ideal germination temperature should range between 8 to 13 °C.
watering
Larkspur require moist soil to grow but too wet soil for long periods can lead to root rot. If you are planting them in particularly dry areas, water twice or thrice deeply would suffice.
how to harvest
Larkspur blooms are quite popular as cut flowers or as dried flowers. Snip the blooms along the required length of the stalks and put in cold water to keep them fresh for long.
