Blossoming in blue, pink, white, and purple, these colorful flowers are easy to grow, making them popular in many annual flower gardens. The hummingbirds will be humming over your garden, and you can also cut the flowers and enjoy them inside as well.

Sowing: Direct sow 1/8" deep in deeply worked, rich soil. In warm regions the seed can be planted in fall for earlier bloom, while early spring planting is a better time for areas with cold winters. To start the Delphinium Consolida seed indoors, sow 1/8" deep in a flat kept evenly moist and at a temperature of 60 degrees F. This seed germinates rather slowly, but should sprout within 20-30 days. Transplant the seedlings when there is no chance of frost.

Growing: Water the plants regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist. This plant tolerates sandy or clay soils. Avoid overwatering, since excess moisture may cause root rot. The plants should bloom in their first season if started early; otherwise, they will begin blooming in the following summer. After the first crop of blossoms fade the plant may be pruned for new growth and a possible second blooming. These plants will self-seed in good growing conditions. Cut the plant several inches above ground level after the first hard frost. Larkspur attracts hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.

Harvesting: For fresh flowers, cut long stems of flowers that have just opened; these flowers usually have a vase life of 7-10 days. Delphinium Consolidas also make excellent dried flowers. For this purpose, choose flowers that have fully opened and bundle them, hanging them upside down in a dark, warm place until dried. Handle these plants with care, since the imperial rocket larkspur seeds and leaves contain poison.
