Notes
'Pink Queen' larkspur (Delphinium ajacis 'Pink Queen') 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. Pale pink flowers open from early to late summer and work well as fresh and dried cut flowers. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Double Zahara Cherry zinnia, Rock soapwort, and Red fescue.
