Description A classic choice for height and color in cottage gardens, rocket larkspur (Consolida ajacis [formerly C. ambigua]) also works well as a cut flower. This mix produces both purple-blue and pink flowers in early to midsummer on stems that generally reach 2 to 3 feet tall (possibly 4 to 5 feet in rich, moist soil). There’s nothing rare or uncommon about larkspur, but it’s lovely to have around and I wouldn’t want to be without it. Once you get it started, let it go to seed and it will self-sow for color in years to come. Full sun. Annual (best in the northern half of the country, usually; high temperatures and humidity will cut short the bloom season). Collected in mid July to early August 2025. At least 30 seeds. Shipping to U.S. addresses only. Please read the germination information as well before ordering.
