Ryan,
If I am correct, the Annual Larkspur doesn't like heat, and thus is
better suited to the Pacific Northwest and the New England states.
The Coralbells suggested by Debby Wheeler would be a good choice.
They grew very good for me in Kentucky, and should do well in your part of
Virginia. This plant is perennial, and has a long bloom season, and is not
invasive. It will slowly increase, and since the crowns can work their way
out of the soil, should be re-set about every third year in August. I
would recommend a type smaller than PURPLE PALACE. The common pink form is
great.
