Summary
Drifts of iridescent purple, white and occasionally bi-colored floral bouquets of dwarf larkspur create a spectacular display in the spring woodland garden. Their distinctive ascending spurred flowers can reach 12-18” tall. Dwarf larkspur is a multi-stemmed, herbaceous species well adapted to moist, well-drained, slightly alkaline soils in the filtered light of the shady garden where it happily spreads. Under ideal conditions, it naturalizes well in plantings with Claytonia virginica, Polemonium reptans, Stylophorum diphyllum, Hydrophyllum virginianum, Trillium grandiflorum, and Polystichum acrostichoides.
