Hey, if they're blooming what's not normal about that? Most of my snaps bloomed, faded and started blooming again last week. Most of my larkspurs have died back completely, but some of the seeds they dropped have come up and are blooming now. The secondary growth is much smaller than the ones that came up from seed sown last fall, but that's ok. Most of the seeds will germinate this fall when it gets cooler and will bloom next spring. I had the tallest larkspur this year that I've ever seen, some were over 4' tall. So save your seeds and sow them this fall.

I had a yellow snapdragon that stayed around for about three years before giving up. And, it bloomed during the summer, but did receive afternoon shade. So, maybe that bit of shade is what kept it alive for so long.

Well, that might be true about the snapdragons. I have them planted with some vanilla ice sunflowers. I thought the snapdragons would be done and the sunflowers would take over. They are and are making some shade for the snaps. You have to look to see them. I'm excited about the larkspurs. I'd never seen them before now and I think that they are pretty. I can't wait until next year's that will be sown this fall.
