Delphinium

Delphinium, commonly known as larkspur, is a genus of flowering plants in the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). They are known for their tall spikes of vibrant flowers, which can be blue, purple, pink, or white. Here are some key points about delphiniums:

• Growth: Delphiniums are typically perennial, meaning they can come back year after year.
• Height: They can grow quite tall, often reaching heights of 3 to 6 feet.
• Care: They thrive in well-drained soil, full sun, and benefit from regular watering, especially during dry spells.
• Toxicity: All parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, so caution is advised around pets and children.

These plants are popular in gardens for their stunning vertical blooms and are often used in floral arrangements.
