Arrangements with Larkspurs

Larkspur, scientifically known as Delphinium, is a striking flower that adds height and elegance to any floral arrangement. These flowers are characterized by their tall, spiky stems adorned with numerous small, star-shaped blooms. Larkspur is available in a wide range of colors, including shades of blue, purple, pink, and white, making it a versatile choice for various occasions.

Larkspur flowers are often used in wedding bouquets, centerpieces, and garden displays due to their graceful appearance and vibrant hues. They can reach heights of up to six feet, making them a dramatic addition to any setting. The flowers have a delicate, airy quality that complements both formal and casual arrangements.

In addition to their visual appeal, larkspur has cultural significance. Traditionally, they symbolize an open heart and strong attachment, making them a popular choice for expressing affection and devotion. Their name is derived from the spur-like shape of the flower's petals, reminiscent of a lark's claw.

To ensure the longevity of cut larkspur flowers, follow these care instructions:

• Trim the stems at a 45-degree angle with a sharp knife or scissors to allow better water absorption.
• Place the flowers in a clean vase filled with fresh, lukewarm water and add floral preservative if available.
• Keep the vase in a cool location, away from direct sunlight, drafts, and ripening fruits, as ethylene gas can shorten their lifespan.
• Change the water every 2-3 days to prevent bacterial growth, and re-trim the stems slightly each time.

With proper care, larkspur can last between 5-7 days, bringing beauty and charm to your home or event.
