Thank you for sending us your gardening question.

Let it continue to bloom until frost kills it back. It should return next year as usual if it is perennial. If it is the annual larkspur from the delphinium genus, and you are counting on seeds to keep it coming back, let it continue to flower and don't cut back any of the stems so the seed can form.
