Pink Cloud Larkspur is a spring-to-summer bloomer that brings soft, romantic color to gardens across hardiness zones 2 through 11. This cultivar of Consolida regalis reaches 24 to 36 inches tall with a delicate 12-inch spread, flowering roughly 98 days from seed to bloom. Deer leave it untouched, and pollinators seek it out, making it a low-maintenance addition that feels both ornamental and ecologically purposeful.

Pink Cloud Larkspur demands darkness to germinate, a quirk that rewards direct sowing in early spring or autumn rather than indoor starts. Seeds sprout in 20 to 35 days once conditions are right, and the plant thrives in full sun with moderate water, so long as you avoid the wet foliage and poor drainage that invite fungal problems. The pale pink flower spikes bloom reliably from March through August, drawing butterflies and bees while remaining stubbornly resistant to deer browsing.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Direct sow in early spring 3 to 4 weeks before your last frost date, or in early autumn in zones 7 through 10. Seeds need darkness to germinate, so do not expose them to light after sowing.
