From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Delphinium variegatum is a species of larkspur known by the common name royal larkspur. It is endemic to California, where it grows in mountains, valley, and coast in woodlands and grasslands. This erect wildflower may reach half a meter in maximum height. Its leaves have deep lobes which may overlap. The long petioles are hairy. The branching inflorescence holds fewer than 25 widely spaced flowers, which are usually bright deep blue, and occasionally lighter blue. The spur is between one and two centimeters long. There are three subspecies, at least one of which is quite rare.
