Before the seed there comes the thought of bloom. –E. B. White
Plant Poppies and larkspur seed now for early spring blooms!
They require cool weather to germinate. If you want gorgeous color for a low price, take this simple step and throw down these seeds in your garden right away.
Sow poppy and larkspur seeds on top of a well-prepared bed but do not cover with dirt. Tamp down the soil with the back of a hoe or pat down with your hands. Do not mulch.
With a little rain, they will begin to germinate and next spring you will be well on your way to an heirloom, cottage garden look. Time is of the essence. Do it now, you will be thanking us next spring!

Visions of my neighbor’s larkspur…. I am so glad you reminded me to put the seat out. I never remember in the fall. It’s on my list now.
Blue Bunny Larkspur is a Texas SuperStar and it is easy to see why. It is tempting to always print pictures of flowers in their bloom season, but if we want to really help gardeners we need to give these kind of reminders. So glad this is reminding you! Ann

oh my goodness-is that in your own yard? I love the first colors of Spring, especially home grown!!!
This is a picture from 2311 Joe Field Road, but I feel fortunate to have some of these seeds. It’s amazing how simple it is to grow this flower and to share them by saving the seeds. Would you like some? Ann
