One of the best late summer and autumn flowering plants, and now 

 enjoying a wide popularity; as easy to grow from seed as Nasturtiums; 

 the double sorts will bloom the first season if the seed is sown before the 

 beginning of April; the single sorts will bloom from seed sown in the open 

 ground as late as June, although an earlier start is better.

DCL.PIIINIUM (Hardy Perennial Larkspur) 



Sow the seeds in early spring indoors or in hot beds in shallow boxes. 

 When the seedlings are about three-quarters of an inch high, transplant 

 to flats three or four inches apart each way, transferring them to the open 

 ground when the weather is suitable. 



Spring-sown plants bloom in July and August. They take up very little room, for they may be planted 6 or 8 inches apart 

 the first season. The following spring the choicer ones may be planted in permanent quarters in groups of three or more, or in 

 large groups in the shrubbery border, or to the rear of hardy perennials, two or three feet apart. In two or three years they 

 should be taken out, the beds heavily manured, the plants reset and more room given each plant. 



They can also be sown in the open ground in spring, but would not likely flower until the second year.
