Larkspur flowers shine in vibrant shades

Larkspur is a beautiful flower that brings grace, strength, and a touch of wild beauty to any garden or bouquet. It is known for its tall stalks and delicate, star-like flowers that bloom in shades of pink, purple, white, and the rare blue.

Beyond its appearance, it holds powerful meaning and serves an important role in both gardens and floral design.Larkspur blooms on tall, green stems with clusters of small, five-petaled flowers lined along the length. The leaves are soft and fern-like, giving it an airy, romantic look that fits well in cottage gardens. The flowers bloom in early summer, adding height and colour when many other cold-season blooms are fading.

Larkspur is cold-hardy, meaning it likes a little chill. In fact, it needs cold to grow properly. This is because the seeds require a process called cold stratification—a period of cold that breaks seed dormancy and helps with strong stem development. Without this cold, the plants may stay short and weak.
