Delightful Delphinium

Delphinium elatum

Our featured flower of the month is Delphinium.  It is a member of the Ranunculaceae plant family and is commonly referred to as “alpine delphinium” or “candle larkspur”.  Delphinium thrives in zones three through seven and is a hardy perennial capable of reaching heights of 20 – 30’’.  It is a wonderful plant that has flowers resembling spikes that come in shades of lavender, blue, cream and white. I started my seeds many seasons ago in rich well draining soil and the results have been nothing short of amazing.  Cheers
