Description
Delphinium 'Flamenco' is every bit as dramatic as its name suggests, though instead of fiery reds, it prefers to dance in a costume of dusky pink and cream. Rising above a neat mound of finely cut green leaves, its strong flower spikes carry frilled double blooms that look as though they’ve been carefully ruffled for maximum flair. The effect is soft yet showy, blending vintage charm with an unmistakably bold presence in early summer. Like a flamenco dancer’s skirt caught mid-swish, each flower of Delphinium 'Flamenco' has a movement all of its own, and together they create a rhythm of colour that feels almost choreographed.
Delphinium 'Flamenco' brings structure and romance in equal measure. Its dusky pink petals soften the garden palette while the creamy highlights keep things lively, preventing the display from becoming too heavy or flat. Whether placed towards the back of a border where its spikes can tower over companion plants, or tucked into a smaller space where it can stand alone, larkspur 'Flamenco' always earns a second glance. Indoors, its long stems and intricate blossoms are equally captivating in arrangements, lending height and a whisper of old-world drama. With Delphinium 'Flamenco', your summer garden gains not just flowers, but a performance worth applauding.

Useful information
-
Soak the Delphinium 'Flamenco' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Larkspur" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
