Delphinium exaltatum

tall larkspur

Though the flowers may not be as showy as the common garden hybrids, native larkspur boasts low maitenance and longevity when planted in fertile, well-drained soils. Once adequately fertilized it takes care of itself while still putting on an attractive floral display in summer.
