Larkspur Seeds (Open Pollinated)

About -

Grace your garden with the delicate spires of Richgrow Seeds Larkspur Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Consolida ajacis), ideal for home gardeners seeking elegant, vibrant blooms at an unbeatable price! Known as Annual Delphinium or Rocket Larkspur, this variety produces tall spikes of star-shaped flowers, measuring 2–3 cm across, in shades of blue, purple, pink, white, or bicolor, perfect for borders, cottage gardens, or as stunning cut flowers, blooming from 8–12 weeks after sowing through spring to early summer. These nectar-rich blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity. The slender, upright plants, growing 60–120 cm tall and 20–30 cm wide, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in cool climates, with optimal sowing in early spring (February–April) or fall (September–October) for early blooms, across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, and Karnataka, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.5 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.5) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 20–30 cm apart in rows 30–45 cm wide; scatter seeds and cover lightly, achieving 85% germination within 14–21 days at 10–15°C, as cooler temperatures aid germination. Keep soil moist during germination with light watering (0.5–1 liter per plant every 2–3 days), reduce watering once established, and fertilize sparingly with organic compost every 4–6 weeks to avoid excessive foliage; use neem oil for pests like spider mites or slugs. Stake taller plants to prevent wind damage and deadhead spent spikes to encourage reblooming, with excellent durability for cut flowers. Note: All parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, so handle with care around pets and children. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (100–150 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white). Seed quantity may vary by variety. Note: Sow in fall for stronger plants; deadhead for prolonged blooms.
