aka Delphinium

Oh these are just lovely for those of you who can't resist pink. Tall spires of large frilly flowers in rich mulberry pink highlighted with a central dark brown zone called a 'bee'. Plant in a sunny spot in nice humus rich soil. Support with a stake if you have a windy garden. Perennial.

Delphiniums are gross feeders i.e. they like lots of tucker, especially organic matter. They respond well to being planted with sheep pellets.
