Delphinium (Larkspur) – Tall, Elegant Blooms for UK Gardens | Dartana Plants

Delphinium, commonly known as larkspur, is a striking perennial from the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae), admired for its tall, elegant flower spikes in shades of blue, purple, pink, and white. These dramatic blooms add height, colour, and structure to borders, making Delphiniums a favourite for traditional and cottage garden designs.

Growing up to 90–180 cm (3–6 ft) tall, Delphiniums thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, rewarding gardeners with vibrant summer displays. Regular watering during dry spells and staking taller varieties ensures healthy growth and stability. While stunning, it’s important to note that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, so care should be taken around pets and children.

Perfect for mixed borders and floral arrangements, Delphiniums offer long-lasting beauty and a classic garden look. At Dartana Plants, we provide a range of premium Delphinium varieties to help you create a show-stopping display in your outdoor space.
