Dwarf Larkspur Summer Blues Seeds - Delphinium grandiflorum

<strong><a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/perennials/perennials-by-variety/delphinium-larkspur.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Delphiniums</a></strong>, often referred to as <strong>larkspurs</strong> or <strong>dolphin flowers</strong>, are emblematic of English gardens. They are highly valued for structuring prairie-style gardens and are precious for introducing vertical accents and focal points at the back of borders, in beds, or in pots near the house. Majestic yet delicate, their <strong>long floral spikes</strong> can reach nearly 2 metres and come in ramified or dense spikes of pure blues, purples, whites, yellows, pinks, or reds depending on the variety. They thrive in full sun from June to October, depending on the variety, in rich, deep, well-drained soils. <strong>These beautiful tall perennials are not the easiest to grow and maintain</strong>: quite tender, they often take one to three years to truly establish but then produce a lovely clump of dozens of floral spikes by late spring that require only a little care to bloom generously again at the end of summer. When cut, their majestic inflorescences make very pretty bouquets with a rustic charm. <strong>Delphiniums are perfect plants for playing with contrasts</strong>, shades, and gradients, transforming a border into a remarkable impressionist tableau: they combine beautifully in opulent spring and summer scenes with perennials and old roses in particular. They add charm to English cottages and turn a simple perennial bed into a chic mixed border!
