How to grow
Larkspur grows best when sown directly. Seeds require darkness for germination. Direct sow late fall for spring blooms or early spring for summer blooms. Larkspur is cold tolerant. Seeds can be difficult to start indoors. Place seeds in freezer for 10 to 14 days. Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date.
How to harvest
Harvest when one third of blossoms are open on the stem. Larkspur is also a drying flower. To dry, harvest when top 3 to 4 buds are still closed at the very top of the stem. Hang upside down to dry.
Care & Growing
Care & Growing
Site: full sun
Planting depth: 4-6 in
Plant spacing: 12-18 in
Pinch: 12 inches
Days to maturity: 80-100 days
Planting: plant once soil has warmed up in late spring. Plant at a depth of 4 to 6 inches. Dahlias need space to develop, plant 12 to 18 inches apart. Do not water until leaves have emerged from the ground. Pinch plants once they've reached 12 inches tall to encourage branching and more blooms. Fertilize regularly throughout the season.
Harvesting: cut when blooms are almost fully open, about 3/4 of the way and before petals at the back become papery. Cut deep to encourage taller stems. Dahlias have a vase life of 5 days with daily water change and when kept away from sunlight.
Every dahlia purchase comes with a detailed care & planting instruction card from our farm.
