Red Lark Delphinium
Delphinium elatum 'Red Lark'
Uncommonly bold and brilliantly colored, Red Lark Delphinium brings a fresh twist to classic cottage gardens with its eye-catching coral-red to salmon-pink flower spikes. Blooming from early to mid-summer, its dense, upright spires are packed with semi-double flowers that rise elegantly above deeply lobed green foliage—offering vibrant vertical interest and long-lasting color.
Unlike traditional delphiniums, ‘Red Lark’ has been bred for improved heat tolerance and garden performance. Its unique color and sturdy stems make it equally stunning in perennial borders or as a focal point in cut flower arrangements. Compact and reliable, it rarely needs staking and blends beautifully with soft purples, blues, and silvers.
Thriving in full sun with rich, well-drained soil, this variety is both deer-resistant and a favorite among pollinators. It may rebloom later in the season if cut back after flowering.
Bring rare color and graceful structure to your garden with Red Lark Delphinium—a striking standout that’s as tough as it is beautiful.
