Larkspur – Rocket Mix

Rocket Larkspur Mix is a vibrant annual flower native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean region. This variety features a lively assortment of colors, including shades of pink, purple, blue, lilac, and white, creating a stunning, multicolored display in the garden. Its tall, elegant spires rise above delicate, fern-like foliage, adding both vertical interest and airy texture to borders, meadows, and cutting gardens. Mature plants typically reach two to four feet in height, producing multiple stems for a full, eye-catching display.

Rocket Larkspur Mix is ideal for cut flowers, as the long stems and colorful blooms hold up beautifully both fresh and dried. The variety is perfect for creating a natural, cottage-garden look, blending effortlessly with other annuals and perennials.

All parts of the plant — including leaves and seeds — are poisonous if ingested, containing natural alkaloids that can be harmful to humans and animals. Take care when planting in areas accessible to children or pets.

For best results, Rocket Larkspur Mix can be planted in fall or early spring. In mild-winter regions, fall planting produces stronger plants and earlier blooms. If sowing in spring, refrigerate seeds for one to two weeks before planting to mimic winter conditions and improve germination. Seeds prefer cool soil for sprouting and may fail to germinate in warm conditions.

Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil with moderate moisture. Avoid soggy conditions, as excessive wetness 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 develops a long taproot, it is best direct-sown into the garden rather than transplanted.

With its vibrant mix of colorful spikes and soft, airy foliage, Rocket Larkspur Mix adds cheerful variety, vertical structure, and timeless charm to any garden, making it a favorite for borders, wildflower meadows, and cut-flower arrangements.
