Dense, single and double blooms are a slightly dusty rosy pink with hints of salmony-orange undertones, especially in dusky light.
A pleasure in gardens, bouquets, and dried.

Harvesting/Vase Life
Harvest when a third of the blossoms are open on a stem for the longest vase life. If preservative is used you can expect larkspur to last a solid week. To dry, let all but the top three to four blooms open, then pick and hang upside down in a warm, dry place out of bright light for 2 weeks.
