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 🤞

Very easy to germinate and grow. The flowers are more purple than blue, but they are still pretty. I make so many bouquets and arrangements this year.
