Water: Larkspurs 'Min' demands consistently moist soil for optimal flower growth. During dry spells, water thoroughly, ensuring the soil remains damp to at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the surface. Avoid overwatering to prevent root and crown rot.

Fertilize: Larkspurs 'Min' is a heavy feeder needing regular fertilization with 10-10-10 or 16-16-16 fertilizers every 2 to 3 weeks after rooting. Use chemical fertilizers twice during the growing season: once in spring and again in fall, and avoid high nitrogen options.

Pruning: Larkspurs 'Min' features tall flower spikes and benefits from early to late spring pruning. Cut old stems to ground level after flowering, remove dead foliage, and thin crowded stems to enhance air circulation. Timely pruning encourages abundant blooms and reduces disease risks.
