Delphinium belladonna 'Bellamosum' – Elegant single-flowered larkspur

Delphinium belladonna 'Bellamosum' is a beautiful, medium-tall Delphinium hybrid, ideal for gardeners seeking romantic, elegant flowers that fit perfectly in trendy field bouquets and border plantings. These Belladonna hybrids reach a height of about 100 cm, making them less dominant than the taller larkspurs. This makes them sturdier, bushier, and more wind-resistant, and they require less support.
