Synonym(s) Delphinium sinense Common name larkspur Family ranunculaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers blue (June-July) Size 12-18" Light sun From seed Flowers first year from seed sown indoors early. detailed seed-starting info below Short-lived perennial with frilly leaves, and deep blue flowers on wiry stems. We grew this way back in the earliest days of our perennial garden, where it lasted a few years before disappearing. I was glad to re-establish it from seed, and even happier to see it blooming already in late May, just months after the seeds sprouted. I'll have to remember to collect seed, to avoid losing it once again.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: patio area, side garden

Seed for this plant is included on my seed trade list
