Notes
'Summer Nights' larkspur (Delphinium grandiflorum 'Summer Nights') is a perennial for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and it draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
Pairs well with Jethro Tull tickseed, Lady's mantle, and Nana white sagebrush.
