Delphinium Perlmutterbaum - Larkspur

<p><strong><a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/perennials/perennials-by-variety/delphinium-larkspur.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Delphiniums</a></strong>, often called <strong>larkspurs</strong> or <strong>dauphinelles</strong>, are iconic in English gardens. They are highly valued for structuring meadow-style gardens and are excellent for introducing vertical accents and focal points at the back of borders, along edges, or in pots near the house. </p> <p>Majestic yet delicate, their <strong>long flower spikes</strong>, sometimes reaching nearly 2 metres, come in branched or dense clusters, with pure blues, purples, whites, yellows, pinks, or reds depending on the variety. They thrive in full sun, blooming from June to October (depending on the cultivar), in rich, deep, well-drained soil. </p> <p><strong>These elegant perennials aren’t the easiest to grow and maintain</strong>: somewhat finicky, they often take one to three years to establish properly. But once settled, they produce a beautiful clump of dozens of flower spikes by late spring, requiring only minimal care to bloom generously again by late summer. </p> <p>When cut, their majestic inflorescences make lovely, rustic-style bouquets. </p> <p><strong>Delphiniums are perfect plants for playing with contrasts</strong>, shades, and gradients, transforming a flowerbed into a striking Impressionist tableau. They pair beautifully in opulent spring and summer displays with perennials and old-fashioned roses, among others. They bring charm to English cottages and elevate a simple perennial border into a so-chic mixed border!</p>
