Like many members of the Ranunculaceae family, Larkspur prefers moist, well drained soil. Also prefers a slightly alkaline soil. Keep well watered. Tall flower stalks may need to be staked. SOW OUTSIDE: Early spring, as soon as soil can be worked (2-4 weeks before last frost). INSIDE: 6-8 weeks before last frost. Does not transplant well. Either start outdoors or sow into peat pots and plant directly into soil. This will minimize root shock. Larkspur seed requires dark to germinate; make sure seeds are covered sufficiently or seeds will not germinate. Seedlings will emerge in approximately 10-15 days. An excellent cut or dried flower. Use air dry method for drying. A backdrop plant. Fits well in front of a fence or wall. (1177-BI) Larkspur "American Flag" $2.50
