Notes
'Fancy Smokey Eyes' larkspur (Delphinium ajacis 'Fancy Smokey Eyes') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Lavender and white blooms open from early to late summer and draw butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer. The plant brings a novel color to a classic cut flower.
Pairs well with Double Zahara Cherry zinnia, Prickly poppy, and Rock soapwort.
