These elegant perennials are easy to care for, requiring little care beyond a bit of watering and fertilization. This makes them perfect for both professional and amateur gardeners.

Larkspur Plant's Bloom Time and Colorful Display


These flower heads make vertical gardens visually arresting. The flowers open from late spring to early summer and appear in striking shades of blue, violet, pink, and white. Each flower can bloom for up to 3-4 weeks, attracting bees and butterflies during the flowering season. The deep green leaves create a beautiful backdrop for its light-coloured flowers.

Life Cycle and Longevity of Larkspur Delphenium


It is an annual plant that will return year after year for a great splash of color in your yard. Fall leaves lose their greenness and remain dormant for winter. When pruned and tended to properly, these plants can survive years and provide beauty for life with little effort.

TN Nursery’s Larkspur delphinium is selected to deliver superior quality and performance for your landscape. They are well known for being easy to maintain and for producing stunning vertical flowers, so they can be used in various areas like borders, cottage gardens, or as cut flowers. Bright in color and long-lasting, it will add timeless beauty to any garden.

Care

Larkspur (Delphinium) thrives in well-draining soil and requires regular watering to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Staking the plants to support tall stems and prevent flopping is essential. Additionally, removing spent flowers will encourage blooming. Finally, keep an eye out for pests like aphids.

Plant Reproduction

Larkspur Delphenium spread by self-seeding, division, and basal cuttings.

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.

HAve not recieved the order yet

While I have not yet received my order I fear that there is not sufficient time to get the plants established prior to Bend Oregon's first frost / hard freeze.

WHile I am confidant in the year guarantee, I do not want to loose the plants overwinter.
