I was reading about when to sow Larkspur seed and found out they should be
sown in Fall or early winter. I had sown some in a bed this past fall and they came up so I figured they had frozen and died but after reading what several
people posted about sowing them in the fall and early winter in our area I decided to go look at mine. I could not believe it. Mine are up and looking real
good even after the freezes we had. One man in Austin says his bloom from early spring till it gets hot.
Here is what one lady in Oklahoma said about growing larkspur:
"My Larkspur reseeds themselves with reckless abandon every Fall, sometimes wildly escaping out into the lawn (yeah!)or paths. They germinate in late fall and appear sometime around January-February, not bothered a bit by wintry snow or ice. When spring arrives, they suddenly take off and shoot up fast. They will bloom here in May thru June, and sometimes a little longer if we get ample rain and mild temps. It can sometimes show a bit more color in the fall if we get a mild August and a goodly amount of rain from Aug-Oct or Nov.

I love how it moves around my gardens year after year, crowding out the Bermuda grass (hehehe) and hugging up against other plants. It's just such a friendly flower!"
