This variable native species of larkspur is the one most frequently encountered east of the Mississippi River. Flower colors range from solid blue through violet-lavenders to pure white. The flowers may also feature a white 'bee' at the center of the flower, but again, this is not always the case. Plant this larkspur in full sun, dry to moderately moist soils and allow this short lived perennial to reseed to ensure continuity in the garden. All parts of the plant are poisonous and avoided by grazing livestock, deer, rabbits, etc. This plant is not recommend for the production of honey as some of the pollen carries the poisonous compounds.
