Larkspur Giant Imperial Mixed is an annual variety of delphinium that rivals its perennial flower cousins for beauty and charm. With their tall, elegant stems and tightly packed clusters of colourful blooms, these annual flower seeds are perfect for adding height and colour to garden borders. They also make stunning indoor arrangements - a wonderful addition to the cut flower garden.

A hardy annual flower variety, Larkspur is a native across the Northern Hemisphere but is also found wild in Africa. It flowers in its first year and thrives in sun or partial shade, where it will bloom in beautiful white, lilac, pink, and blue hues. Its delicate yet striking appearance makes it a popular choice for both cottage gardens and floral displays.

Warning: Larkspur flowers, seeds, and roots are harmful if eaten.
