 Last year I ordered 12 packs of seed and planted 1/2 of them in the
 fall,  when spring comes I'm gonna plant the other 1/2.  I am determined
 to have "Larkspurs"  one way or another.   I have been doing this for
 the past 3 or 4 years and haven't had any luck yet,  but I don't give up
 easily >>

Donna, I have no idea what your conditions are, but last year I sprinkled
larkspur seeds over snow cover in January.  They were slow to germinate but
were absolutely gorgeous in June.  Lots of good color and they're great cut
flowers too.  I cut them down and sprinkled all their flower heads and
seedlings were emerging in November.  Don't know how they survive the winter
but we'll see what this second spring brings.  I may have to scatter some nedw
seeds next month just to be sure.
