Rocket Larkspur - MIXED, Excellent cut flower

Delphinium Rocket MIXED is an annual flower that grows 24-36 inches tall, with forking and branched stems. Leaves are 3 inches across and have a lacy appearance, while 1 inch blooms come in white, lilac, and pink. Easy to grow from Larkspur wildflower seed.

Rocket Larkspur Delphinium blooms during the summer and lasts about 1 - 2 months. Each flower is replaced by a pod containing numerous small black wild flower seeds, and they are easily dispersed by gusts of wind. Larkspur, like many wild flowers, can re-seed itself if wild flower seed is allowed to drop on the ground. Seed will lay dormant until temperatures and moisture are sufficient to cause germination.

To aid in the germination of Rocket Larkspur seeds, place the wildflower seeds on a damp paper towel, seal the towel and seeds in a ziploc bag and place in the refrigerator for 1 - 2 weeks. After removing the flower seeds from the refrigerator, directly sow the Larkspur seeds outdoors in prepared soil, keeping the seeds moist until germination. Larkspur care includes cutting the plants back hard after blooms are spent. This will encourage a second bloom later in the season. The wildflower seeds and Rocket Larkspur plants are poisonous so do not consume.
