larkspur

Larkspur (Delphinium 'Misty Mauves') should be watered every 5-7 days, and depending on the temperature, for the hotter months, watering could be increased once a week or every other day. During the cooler months, the larkspur should be watered less frequently, every 7-10 days, as the hotter temperatures can cause the soil to dry out much quicker. Make sure to water thoroughly until the water runs off the leaves and through the soil. If the soil appears dry, it means you need to water again.

Larkspur (Delphinium 'Misty Mauves') grows best in full sunlight, meaning it should be exposed to direct sunlight for at least 6 to 8 hours each day. This species of plant prefers sunny climates, so it can photosynthesize adequately and produce its lovely lilac-tinged blooms. That said, in hot and arid climates, some shade is beneficial, especially during the hottest part of the day when temperatures can become too intense for this delicate flower. When potting and planting, try to position Larkspur where it will get at least 6-8 hours of sunlight on most days for optimal growth and flower production.

Larkspur (Delphinium 'Misty Mauves') should be pruned lightly in the spring, before new growth begins. Cut off any dead or diseased stems and remove spent flower spikes. Also, if any stems become too tall and are flopping over, go ahead and cut them back down. Doing this light pruning will promote bushier growth and more flowering growth.
