I love larkspur. They are beautiful flowers, and the greenery is pretty, delicate, and fern-like. It's important that the greenery is pretty because they grow from seed - I've never seen plants sold in a nursery - and they grow all winter and into spring before they finally bloom. So it's good that the greenery is attractive on its own. Here in the South the seeds can be sown in September, October, and November. And, of course, the plants reseed, so you can also just let the seed fall to ground naturally when the plants die off. Once the seed has fallen just pull up the brown plants. They aren't perennials. They are reseeding annuals.
