Tall Larkspur (Delphinium exaltatum)
Delphinium exaltatum, more commonly known as Tall Larkspur provides important ecological and faunal benefits in native prairie and open-woodland restorations: its tall, nectar-rich spikes bloom in early to mid-summer, supplying a valuable food source for long-tongued native bees, bumble bees, as well as butterfly and hummingbird species when other floral resources may be waning.
The plant’s structural height and branching create microhabitats and perching sites for pollinators and small insects, while its deep-rooted habit helps stabilize soils, reduce erosion, and promote soil health through organic matter inputs.
As a native species adapted to local climates and disturbance regimes, D. exaltatum supports greater insect diversity than comparable nonnative ornamentals and contributes to resilient plant communities that sustain higher trophic levels, including insectivorous birds and small mammals.

Packet quantities:
We pride ourselves on ethical, hands on, ecological management, using no mechanical or chemical methods whatsoever.
All of our native seed is hand reared, hand picked, and hand packed from native prairies under our exclusive management, never breaking chain of custody from the field until it is sent to you. Each packet is hand prepared for shipment by us, directly.
Small seed species will contain greater than 20-25 seed
Large seed species will contain greater than 10-15 seed
All packets are individually marked at the bottom of the front label with expected count, however most if not all packets will have many more than the minimum count by default.
It is our mission to spread the wealth of native plant and pollinator ecological sustainability, and educate back yard gardeners as well as corporate and government entities in how to germinate, grow, and benefit from native synergies.
Thank you for your support, it is because of you, that we can grow together to do, what we do.🐛🦋🐝🐞🌾🌱🌼🧡
