A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2004 Larkspur

This year I planted Larkspur from seed. They are just beautiful, even if I say so myself. People are commenting about them all the time. Will these reseed themselves and come up next year, or do I have to plant seeds again?
I thank you in advance for your help.

Larkspur is a prolific reseeder, so you will probably have plenty more next year..and the year after...and the year after...and... :-)

Just make sure you don't mulch...or move the mulch back after they flower.

Thanks Alan for your reply. I am looking forward to many more of these beautiful flowers. I love

Did you order your seed or buy it from a store. Larkspur is so pretty. It's nice for a large area because it will take over if you let it. I might take a chance and throw out a few seeds next year.

Hi Sheri. I bought the seeds at a nursery. Thank you for replying to my post.
The more I hear, the more I realize I won't have any trouble seeing these beauties next year. They seem to multiply very easily from what people say. This is good---I think! A neighbor gave me Yellow Loose Strife a few years ago, and I had to hire someone to come and get it out for me (he also did weeding and mulching). This year, with all the rain, it seems all my plants are very lush. I only have something like 10 x 4 plot in the front to plant, and that is where I have the Larkspur. I also have Russian Sage, Shasta Daisy, Maltese Cross, Iris, Easter lily, Mini rose Bush, Aster, Blue Eyed Grass, and assorted annuals in there. Whew, getting a little cramped in there. Unfortunately I only have that place, a small strip by the garage, and pots to plant in. I NEED MORE SPACE!!!! <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" />
