Larkspur is a fascinating member of the Buttercup family, with flowers almost
as complex as the orchids and colorful blooms covering a spectrum from white
to blue to violet.
When in bloom, these big flower spikes are lovely
in the garden and indoors in vases. Colors include light and dark pink, blue,
rose, lavender and white.
Larkspur are members of the Delphinium family. There are many varieties of
Larkspur, so it should not surprise you that they range in height from one to
seven feet.
Best of all, this tall growing flower burst into bloom in the spring when many
other flowers are still weeks away.
Did you Know? Larkspurs can be poisonous to some animals, most notably cattle.
