| I usually sow mine in November, but I have waited till late winter. Seem to perform about the same - maybe bloom earlier when I sow in fall. |

| Mine have self sow, since the '90's. This year our yard man pulled up my plants, so I will need to buy seeds. I will put mine down around the end of this month. That is when nature usually did it for me. Barbra |

| I love flowers that plant themselves, but my larkspur tend to fizzle out after a few years and then I need to start over with fresh ones from seed to improve their attitude. Late October planting in zone 9 would correspond nicely to November planting up here in zone 8 Dallas. Think that's what I'll do. But this great weather just has me itching to plant something NOW. |

| mine have come back for a number of years...I love that fascinating foliage that comes up in the fall and spring. That said, I would sow now but not hesitate to sow as late as January if you forget. BTW where did you find your seeds? I planted my anemones last week and thought of you. |

| Hey, I planted anemones today & thought of you! I got a packet of blue shades only at NorthHaven Gardens, $1.89, packaged by an outfit called Botanical Interests, Inc. Whatever happened to the racks of Burpee seeds at the grocery store? |
RE: Larkspur

It is starting to look like many of the grocery and box stores are cutting back on seeds each year, we may end up some time soon having to go to a nursery or buy by mail.

| will any kind of larkspur grow here? or do you try to grow the 'prairie' variety? |
RE: Larkspur

| I've always grown whatever came to hand, always with good results. What's the 'prairie' variety? |
