Stars Delphinium, Stars Larkspur
Delphinium New Zealand ‘Stars’ is a testament to the allure of floral elegance, bringing with it the majestic presence characteristic of delphiniums. Hailing from the celebrated New Zealand hybrids, this variety combines both beauty and resilience.
Boasting tall spires, ‘Stars’ is adorned with blooms that seem to capture the essence of a nighttime sky. The flowers present a medley of deep blues, velvety purples, and occasional whites, resembling a starlit evening. These colors are perfectly contrasted by the green, palmate foliage that delicately frames each stem.
Deadheading post the first bloom in early summer encourages a potential second bloom later in the season.
‘Stars’ can achieve a height of up to 3-6 feet (90-180 cm), making it a captivating focal point in any garden.
While displaying towering beauty, ‘Stars’ also brings robust disease resistance, a trait nurtured in the New Zealand hybrid lineage. However, its towering height often necessitates staking, especially in wind-prone areas, to prevent toppling.
Whether as a backdrop to other flowers or as a standalone spectacle, Delphinium New Zealand ‘Stars’ stands as a testament to nature’s grandeur, turning any garden into a celestial display.
