Delphinium Consolida - Imperial Rocket Larkspur seed blue flowers

Delphinium consolida – Imperial Rocket Larkspur is a colorful mix that blooms in Pink, White, Purple and Blue and will grow to a taller height of 3 feet. The blooms will fill the stalk from the bottom to the top and it is a great annual that it will bloom its heart out then die back in the frost of Winter. Easy to grow and to care for. Plant them in groups for best and prettiest effect. I read on a site that the genus name Delphinium comes from a Greek word meaning dolphin, referring to the unique shape of the blossoms; the species name "ajacis" comes from the Greek myth that these flowers first grew in the place where the great warrior Ajax committed suicide. The common name of larkspur comes from the supposed resemblance of the blossoms to the claw of a lark. Native Americans and early settlers used the bright flowers of this plant to make blue ink. A little myth and history, I love the odd info you can find on plants.
