This one is sky blue next to a seed dropped poppy. I'm not sure if it's an opium one.

So pretty. I'm envious, I can't get larkspur to grow for love nor money.

I wonder why? They do grow both sides. Usually this south facing side as this was their original site about 15 years ago. The soil is ordinary free draining. They do seem to enjoy being solo amongst other plants not together.
And I have tall spikey flowers which they lean against. I can save seeds so you can.give them another try?

You obviously have the knack, Janey. I have tried seeds in trays and sprinkled on borders but so far without success. I would love a few of yours to try, if they're on offer. Maybe they have stronger genes!!

They must have! I'll post a pic of the mauve one too.
Thanks for all the lovely comments on these everyone..
