Delphinium requienii - Larkspur

Perennial, floriferous herbaceous plants, always noticeable in a garden. Plants grown in small pots, with only one stem, often give poor results so we raise them for an additional year, in larger pots, to encourage branching and promote better establishment in the garden.

A biennial, endemic to the northern Mediterranean islands, with a taproot and superb palmate leaves. Blue flowers with grey highlights, in hairy clusters. It has been living in our large rock garden for many years, where it self-seeds nicely every year.
