Larkspur is an excellent, low-cost and high-profit cut flower item when handled cor- 
rectly. Here is a chance to substantially boost your profits. Simply take advantage of an 
otherwise vacant bench or invest a small amount of labor and seed in an outdoor fall or 
spring sowing. 
For Early Summer Cut Flowers Outdoors: If a sowing is made outdoors by growers in 
the near South 6 or 7 weeks before the ground freezes, plants well enough established to 
winter over in all except the most severe seasons can be produced. In the North sowing 
should be done as early in the spring as the soil can be worked—just as soon as the frost 
is out of the ground. 
Under Glass—Spring Flowering: For indoor growing, Larkspur is a nice crop to follow 
either early or late Mums. Well started, 3-inch, banded or potted plants should be ready, 
and are produced by a September or later sowing. 
Space at least 12 x 12 in. on ground beds; 10 x 10 in. on raised beds should be ample. 
The after-Mum planting is generally started out cool, 40 to 45° nights, increasing to 
50° with spring weather. 
Germination: Larkspur seed doesn’t germinate well in high temperatures. If it must be 
sown when hot, better do so in flats set under a bench or in a cool shed. It requires 2 
to 3 weeks to come through, sometimes longer. 
New Crop Seed is always most reliable for sowing under adverse conditions of summer 
heat. We have a special source for Larkspur seed (7 best varieties only) permitting 
delivery in early July. If you order in early summer, please specify whether you prefer 
to wait for new crop. After August all orders are filled with new crop seed.
