Family ranunculaceae
Life cycle perennial
Flowers purple (late summer)
Size 28"

Seed ripensmid-July

From what I've read, an oddity among delphiniums. Ours, grown from traded seed, look rather like our D. delavayi, at least in the shape of the flowers - but the back ends (such a technical term!) aren't as curvy as delavayi's. The leaves are quite different, so they make for an easier distinction. Also, the seeds are dark bronze, rather than black.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: patio area

Seed for this plant is included on my seed trade list
