How to Grow:
Direct seed in late fall or early spring, or start seed indoors in trays 6-8 weeks before last frost and plant out while the weather is still cool. Plants do best when sown directly in the garden. Cold-tolerant, larkspur can be planted in fall in even the coldest corners of the world. Speed up germination by popping seeds in the freezer a week before sowing.
Harvesting/Vase Life:
Harvest when a third of the blossoms are open on a stem for the longest vase life. If preservative is used you can expect larkspur to last a solid week. To dry, let all but the top three to four blooms open, then pick and hang upside down in a warm, dry place out of bright light for 2 weeks.
