Larkspur forms long, lace-like, and beautiful flower spikes in blue, white or pink tones. It grows on sunny and half shaded sites. Shorten to 10-15 cm after it has flowered to produce a second flush. Particularly loved by bumble bees. Note: All parts of the plant are poisonous. Ideal for cut flower growers.
