Fothergill's Larkspur Hyacinth Dwarf Mixed Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Consolida ambigua, a highly robust, dwarf selection of the traditional cottage garden favourite.
• Plant Class: Hardy Annual, establishing rapidly from seed to deliver a heavy, high-impact floral display within a single growing season.
• Growth Habit: Reaches a highly manageable medium height of 50cm (20in) with a compact, bushy, and upright form that stays tidy and well-proportioned.
• Stout Stems: Unlike taller varieties that lean or fall, this dwarf strain develops naturally strong, thick stems that stand resilient against wind and rain without any artificial staking.
• Bloom Presentation: Features magnificent, densely packed columns of unique, clustered blossoms that create a rich, textured visual effect in small spaces.
• Sunlight Position: Flourishes in a partial shade position, making it an excellent candidate for introducing reliable structure and colour into dappled or lightly shaded borders.
• Wildlife Friendly: Highly attractive to native pollinators, welcoming a steady stream of beneficial bees and butterflies into your garden.

Care & Growing Instructions:

• Sowing Position: Direct sow the seeds outdoors where they are to bloom in finely prepared, well-drained soil. Larkspur prefers to be sown directly in situ as it dislikes its roots being disturbed by transplanting.
• Maintenance: A straightforward, exceptionally low-maintenance plant; keep the soil moist during early establishment and enjoy the prolific summer blooms with minimal fuss.
