Does anyone know which larkspur this is?

It's a branching type, and has the two-toned colors. It grows to about 4' tall.

Thanks, Myriam! Thumbs up

I had thought it was probably Rocket. It's nice to have a confirmation. I tip my hat to you.

I'm a bit confused by our DB listings in this area.

I added this to Delphinium ajacis, but now I'm thinking it should be moved to Larkspur (consolida ambigua). Any thoughts as to which is correct?

Consolida ajacis is the correct name Chelle.

Synonyms are Consolida ambigua and Delphinium ambiguum

Thank you! I tip my hat to you. So, is this entry okay just the way it is, or does it need some adjustments?
