What could be more elegant than the Tall Larkspur? With royal purple, tubular flowers rising above the rest, it's not surprising that a variety of pollinators, including hummingbirds, flock to its blooms. Tall Larkspur also chooses to bloom later that its other native and hybrid cousins... save the best for last, we say! Reserve a special place in a sunny border or a woodland edge for this stately beauty.
