This rare US native, occurring from PA south to AL, makes a 6' tall spiky addition to the garden. The base of the stems are clothed in three to five lobed palmate leaves, while the top is adorned with blue or purple flowers. Delphinium exaltatum normally occurs in well-drained slightly alkaline soils in clearings or at the edge of woodlands.
