Go Botany says \"no\", so \"no\" it is. The species occurs mostly from Pennsylvania and Ohio, south down the Appalachian spine into Alabama and North Carolina, with disjunction populations in the Ozarks. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHabitat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Found on bright, woodland edges, open woods and slopes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larkspurs contain poisonous alkaloids and their toxicity makes them deer and rabbit resistant. Their flowers will be visited by long-tongued bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Prefers a cool root run and protection from blazing afternoon sun. The tall, purplish spires show up well amongst grasses and are a good foil for the yellow-orange, late summer cohort of rudbeckias. A bit slow to establish and makes a pretty cut flower. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource:\u003c\/strong\u003e up-potted seedlings from Marpa Farm or wintered-over plants originally from Van Berkum Nursery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage credits: \u003c\/strong\u003ecourtesy of Van Berkum Nursery\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Honey Petal Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52758078882099,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/6115\/8195\/files\/Delphinium-exaltatum-1-300x297.jpg?v=1765208620","url":"https:\/\/honeypetalplants.com\/products\/delphinium-exaltatum-tall-larkspur","provider":"Honey Petal Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
