HomeLarkspur 'Giant Imperial Mixed' has tall spikes of double flowers in shades of purple, blue, lavender, pink and white. The flowers bloom for a long time from late spring to midsummer.
Giant Imperial larkspur is a self-sowing annual that attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. It makes a great companion plant for roses and poppies. The long-stemmed flowers are wonderful for cutting.
Larkpur generally likes full sun, but it doesn't mind part shade in hot summer areas. I grow it on the shady north side of my house in the Utah desert climate (zone 5b-6). We have very hot summers. Also known as Consolida ambigua.
