Growing Tips for Your Delphinium (Larkspur) Messenger Mix Seeds:

Start seeds early indoors for transplants or direct sow after the last frost in a location with full sun to partial sun and well-drained soil. Sow seeds lightly, as they may benefit from darkness for germination. Keep the soil consistently moist. Thin seedlings as needed. Support may be necessary for the tall spires.

Harvest when mature for cutting, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. This variety is cold tolerant and relatively easy to grow. It typically reaches a height of 31-40 inches and matures in approximately 120 days.
