I learned about Flower Friday last year from Lorilin@Bugbugbooks and have been having a blast sharing some flower pics. Please check out Lorilin’s blog if you haven’t already for book reviews and more!
Today I chose to share larkspur–another easy flower to grow from seed.
I started growing this flower in our butterfly garden four years ago and it comes back by reseeding itself every year abundantly with little to no care! The version I grow is titled “cloudy skies” and blooms in purple, blue, and white.
Image SourceLarkspur resemble their relative delphinium, but these are an annual. You can let the plant reseed and also collect seed easily. They thrive in well-drained soil and full sun. Although these are said to not transplant well, I do grow these from seed in a tray and transplant out in the spring. Here’s a tray I started recently.
ooooh… so pretty. I’m going to get some of those. I love plants that can take care of themselves and I need plants that can take full sun. Thanks!
