HALLAWELL’S CALIFORNIA SEEDS EXPORTED TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD 15 

Larkspur, Base Branching 
LARKSPUR 
In mild climates, best results are obtained if 
seed is sown October to February in the open 
ground where you want them to grow. The 
seeds are slow to germinate, requiring 3 to 4 
weeks, so be sure to keep the soil moist until 
the plants are up, then thin them to stand 8 or 
10 inches apart in the row. They thrive in full 
sun. 
Hallawell's Base Branching Strain grows to a 
height of 3 to 4 feet, producing long slender 
flowering branches, which are excellent for 
cutting.
