Descripción
Richly Coloured Summer Flower with a Nostalgic Character
‘Blue Spire’ Field Larkspur (Consolida ajacis) is a striking annual summer flower with tall, upright flower spikes in a deep, saturated indigo blue. With its bold colouring and clear, spire-like form, this variety stands out among annual larkspurs – ideal for structured borders, cottage gardens and wildflower strips.
As a form of the traditional Field Larkspur, ‘Blue Spire’ has its roots in Europe’s classic arable flora. Today, it is a valuable wildflower with pollinator benefits, offering bees, bumblebees and butterflies abundant nectar over many weeks. Combined with white or pastel-coloured blooms, it creates a vibrant and naturalistic planting scheme.
This variety is also an excellent cut flower. Its long, sturdy stems and richly blue flower spikes make it a popular feature in summer bouquets – whether arranged on its own or as part of a mixed display.
