It dislikes root disturbance and warm soil — do not transplant and avoid sowing in warm conditions. Sow direct into a sunny, well-drained position and thin to 20–30 cm apart. Requires cool conditions to germinate well. Best suited to cooler NZ regions such as Canterbury, Otago, and the Central Plateau, or autumn sowing in other regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e20 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Larkspur Pink Queen (\u003cem\u003eConsolida ajacis\u003c\/em\u003e), with growing instructions included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45043255148613,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_33b86834-195b-4afa-aae7-b5e366630981.png?v=1780894477","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/larkspur-pink-queen-seeds-consolida-ajacis","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
