Larkspur – Rocket Light Pink

Price range: $2.50 through $46.50

Rocket Larkspur is a beautiful annual flower native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean region. This light pink variety produces tall, graceful spires of soft, pastel blooms that bring a romantic, airy touch to the garden. The delicate blush tones range from pale shell pink to rosy pastel, blending easily with other colors in borders, wildflower plantings, or cutting gardens. The feathery, fern-like foliage complements the upright flower spikes, which typically reach two to four feet tall, creating an elegant, vertical accent in any sunny spot.

Light Pink Rocket Larkspur is a favorite for bouquets and floral arrangements, both fresh and dried. The blooms hold their soft color beautifully and provide a classic cottage-garden charm that pairs perfectly with blues, purples, and whites.

All parts of the plant, including the leaves and seeds, are poisonous if ingested. They contain natural alkaloids that can be harmful to humans and animals, so care should be taken when planting around children or pets.

For best results, Rocket Larkspur can be planted in fall or early spring. In regions with mild winters, fall planting often produces stronger plants and earlier blooms. If sowing in spring, chill the seeds in the refrigerator for one to two weeks before planting — this brief cold period helps trigger germination. The seeds prefer cool soil for sprouting and may not germinate well once temperatures rise.

Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil with moderate moisture. Avoid soggy conditions, as excessive moisture can cause root or crown rot. Blooming typically begins in late spring and continues through summer, with successive sowings extending the flowering season into early fall. Because Rocket Larkspur forms a long taproot, it should be direct-sown into the garden rather than transplanted once seedlings develop.

With its tall spires of delicate pink blossoms and soft, romantic charm, Light Pink Rocket Larkspur brings elegance and timeless beauty to any garden — a classic favorite for borders, meadows, and cutting gardens alike.
