Larkspur 'Pink Cloud'

Consolida regalis
This lovely larkspur conjures images of a cloudburst of cherry blossoms in sugar pink and light rose. The wiry stems hold the blossoms in an airy embrace, and the bloom is not fleeting but continues all summer until fall is not far away. It's one of our favorite new varieties from the farm trials.
