Molly,

Cleome can be planted now or whenever the frost is gone from you garden. It ususally takes about 90-120 days to flower.

Larkspur need cool weather to sprout, they are usually fall planted in z8 to z9. I have had no luck growing them here in z10, in the ground. I do see them in the nurseries in the spring.

I have had good luck with Delphiniums, a cousin of Larkspur, growing thru the winter.
