Rocket Larkspur

Rocket Larkspur (Consolida ajacis) is a vibrant annual flower prized for its tall, upright spikes of densely packed, spurred blossoms. Available in a wide range of colors including blue, pink, white, and purple, rocket larkspur adds vertical drama and a cottage garden feel to borders and bouquets. Plants grow quickly, reaching heights of 3 to 4 feet, and their finely cut, feathery foliage provides an elegant backdrop for the showy flower spikes. Rocket larkspur blooms from late spring to early summer and is loved by pollinators such as bees and butterflies.Interesting Fact: Rocket larkspur is often used in dried flower arrangements because its colorful blooms retain their beauty and shape when dried. In addition, the name “rocket” refers to its rapid growth and upright, rocket-like flower spikes, which can create a stunning vertical accent in both garden beds and cut flower displays.
