Notes
'Misty Lavender' larkspur (Delphinium ajacis 'Misty Lavender') 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. Pearly gray-lavender blooms open from early to late summer and attract butterflies and bees. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It stays low at 9 to 12 inches tall.
Pairs well with Sensation cosmos, Double Zahara Cherry zinnia, and Rock soapwort.
