Larkspur is a very popular cut flower 
crop for both under glass and in the open. 
If a sowing is made outdoors by growers 
in the near south 6 or 7 weeks before the 
ground freezes, plants well enough es- 
tablished to winter over in all except the 
most severe seasons can be produced. In 
our locality sowing should be done late 
enough to avoid germination before the 
ground freezes. With good drainage and 
some coarse covering such a sowing will 
germinate promptly in early spring and 
get into flower 2 or 3 weeks before the 
spring sown crop. 
For indoor growing, Larkspur is a nice 
crop to follow either late-or early Mums. 
Well started 3 inch pot plants should be 
ready, and are produced by a September 
sowing in pots set in a cold frame. We 
prefer raised beds for Larkspur, but if 
ground beds are well drained and care is 
used in watering, very good results can 
be had with them. 
New crop seed will be ready late August 
and early September, in time for most 
growers’ needs.
