Dwarf Larkspur and Other Larkspurs (Delphinium tricorne Michx. and other species)


Control

Animals, especially cattle, should not be grazed in woodland pastures infested with larkspurs until there is an abundance of other herbage for them to browse. Heavily infested pastures probably should not be used until the larkspurs have been destroyed. In woods, where it is hard to use chemical weed-killers, the only way to eliminate the plant is to dig it out by the roots.
