- Emory M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars8/2/26Grows incredibly even with a mess up
I’m zone 8a in Georgia and getting cool season annuals to grow and bloom can be a bit of a challenge. Before sowing i read online it’s best to sow them in the fall in the southeast, but seeing i received the seeds in mid winter i just had to toss some in the soil in February and see what happens. They germinated well and to my great surprise started blooming right when the intense heat of summer started to hit here in Georgia. Incredibly there are still some straggler blooms on the plants in AUGUST, (granted the plants do look pitiful at this point in the year). Super excited to sow these guys do when sown correctly in my long flower bed and enjoy the show next year.

We're so happy to hear about your incredible experience with the Shades of Blue Larkspur Seeds! Even with an unconventional sowing timeline in February, these beauties germinated well and delivered blooms right through the Georgia heat - that's seriously impressive! The fact that you still had straggler blooms hanging on in August shows just how resilient these larkspurs really are. We love your enthusiasm, and we can't wait to hear how they perform when you sow them at the ideal time in your long flower bed next year. Thanks for sharing your growing story with us! Keep on growing 🌻

These were some of my favorite flowers in my garden in Las Vegas. Hope they do well here too. And they reseed well.

I'm in zone 9b. I bought this last year (maybe?) and planted them as a filler in a partial shade area. They are easy to grow and blooms are very pretty. I've collected some seeds, and I'm also getting more this year!

Rocket larkspur came up just fine for me so I sprinkled these blue larkspur seeds for more of a blend but they did not come up, I'm hoping they needed to be cold stratified and will pop up amongst the rocket blend this year 🤞
