Product description

Larkspur ‘Fancy Purple Picotee’ is a striking annual that brings elegance and drama to summer borders, cutting gardens, and cottage-style displays. Its tall, upright stems are adorned with richly coloured purple blooms edged in delicate white, creating a picotee effect that adds depth and contrast to your planting scheme. With a height of up to 120cm, these flowers make a bold statement while attracting bees and butterflies to the garden.

Sow seeds directly outdoors from April to May, once the soil has warmed, or in September. For best results, chill seeds in the fridge for 1–2 weeks before sowing to improve germination. Plant 1cm deep and 25cm apart in well-drained soil in full sun or light shade and keep the area consistently moist until seedlings establish. As they grow, thin the seedlings out to leave a 20cm gap between plants. Larkspur ‘Fancy Purple Picotee’ typically flowers from July to October, offering a long-lasting display of colour and texture through the height of summer and into early autumn. September sowings will flower the following year.

Whether you're creating a romantic border or growing for cut flowers, ‘Fancy Purple Picotee’ adds a touch of sophistication with its unique colouring and graceful form. Easy to grow and stunning in bloom, it’s a must-have for gardeners looking to elevate their summer planting.
