Highlander Flamenco Larkspur

Highlander ‘Flamenco’ is an upright Delphinium elatum in the Highlander series, with dusty-pink double flowers shaded by violet undertones. Proven Winners lists it at 30–40 inches tall and 12–18 inches wide, with spring and summer flowering. ## Garden Placement Use its tall, colorful spikes in sunny borders, containers, and cutting gardens. The flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds, and the breeder lists resistance to deer and rabbits. Its dusty pink remains the dominant color, while violet undertones add depth. ## Growing Conditions Grow in full sun and provide average watering. The published hardiness range is USDA zones 3a–7b. The listed mature height crosses three feet, so place this delphinium where flower stems can rise without crowding nearby plants. Delphiniums can be harmful if eaten. ## Maintenance Protect tall stems from strong wind and rain with a sheltered position or supports. Deadhead spent flower spikes; after foliage has withered in autumn, cut it back to ground level.
