Description

Also called Carolina Larkspur and Blue Larkspur, though the flowers can vary from nearly white to blue to purple. Prairie Larkspur, like other perennial larkspurs, often goes dormant after it blooms and should be planted among other plants that will persist throughout the season, such as blazing stars and prairie clovers.

It is attractive to several native bees. All parts of the plant are toxic to mammals if ingested.

Uses: Hummingbirds, bumblebees, rabbit & deer resistant, cut flower

Bloom time: June - July

Height: 18 to 36 inches

Space 12 to 16 inches

Sun: Full sun to light shade

Moisture: Dry to average (prefers rocky or sandy soil that drains well)

Seed: Sow outdoors in permanent location before February. If sowing indoors, seed needs about two months of cold, moist stratification; check on stratifying seed after 6 weeks in refrigeration as it can germinate in the refrigerator.
