Delphinium requienii

Southern France: wastelands, roadsides. etc. Richly flowering biennial wth violet blooms, impressive, glossy foliage, vigorous. Very stable, they don't need staking or any special care as they are so tough. Snail resistant. Suitable for natural landscaping. Use for low maintenance plantings. Will sow about gently so that you cab always have it. If sown early, this delphinium will flower in late autumn, but later sowing with flowering in the second year is much more attractive as these seedlings have been. 80cm Sunny and good drainage.  

Seeds from the UK, Special Plants Nursery where lots of lovely things can be found. Thanks you to them for the advice on growing and the images until mine flower.
