Larkspur Brisbane Salmon Pink

This listing refers to the sale of seeds. Each packet contains 100 seeds.

The birth flower of July, larkspur (Delphinium consolida) is a staple in any cottage garden, both on its own and planted with other flowers, and will readily self-seed, coming back year after year.

Larkspur are upright annuals with deeply pinnately or palmate leaves, and racemes or panicles of small, spurred, delphinium-like flowers in summer. The roots grow into the soil up to a depth of 50 centimeters (20 inches), so the plant can survive long periods of drought.

The "Brisbane" variety was bred specifically as a cut flower and has strong stems that carry long spires of double flowers. Upward-growing side branches mean less tangling when flowers are being picked.
