LARKSPUR □ 
Culture 1, 4 or 5. Normal germination, 20-25 days 
Larkspur or Annual Delphinium is of unsurpassed merit for 
massing in the border, as well as for cutting. Native to 
many parts of North Temperate Zone. Tall, upright, 
base-branching in habit, the Giant Imperials have passed 
all other types of Larkspur for florists’ and general garden 
use. The Delphinium-like spikes of double flowers, carried 
on stems 4-5 feet long, are compactly placed on upright 
growing plants, requiring only about half the space needed 
for the old Stock Flowered type. May be started either 
indoors or outside, but indoors starting improves the 
quality of the flowers.
