DELPHINIUM exaltatum
|
Description: A blue-flowered delphinium for bright to average shade, which is native to woodland glades from Alabama to Pennsylvania. Tall Larkspur is a large and vigorous plant with grayish green leaves divided into 5 lobes with 3 teeth at the tip of each lobe. It produces spikes of spurred blue flowers atop 3-6' stems from July to September. Unlike many hybrids, the foliage remains in good condition most of the summer, providing a welcome addition to the woodland edge or bright shade border. Prefers average to rich soils with good drainage yet is quite drought tolerant once established. Not recommended for clay soils.
