Direct sowing this heirloom in early spring or autumn launches a reliable bloom cycle that spans six months without fussing over indoor seed trays. Deer typically leave the flowers untouched, while pollinators flock to the spires, bringing life and movement to the garden from March through August. The tall, slender growth habit and modest 12-18 inch spread make it an excellent choice for layering in borders or creating dramatic vertical accents in smaller spaces.
Bunny Bloom Larkspur shines as a cut flower for fresh arrangements, where its tall spikes and long vase life bring structure and grace to bouquets. The blooms are also valued in dried flower arrangements, holding their color and form well through the drying process. Gardeners grow it to attract pollinators and add vertical interest to cottage and wildflower gardens.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring 3-4 weeks before your last frost date, or in early autumn in zones 7-10. Seeds need darkness to germinate, so plant them at the correct depth rather than leaving them exposed to light.
Harvest flower spikes for cutting once several florets along the spike have opened, typically beginning around 98 days after sowing. Cut stems early in the morning when they're fully hydrated, using sharp pruners to take stems at least 12 inches long. Continue harvesting throughout the bloom season to encourage more flowers and extend the garden display.
