Delphinium 'Diamonds Blue'
Delphinium ‘Diamonds Blue’ is a cultivated hybrid variety of Delphinium, also known as Larkspur. While the *genus* Delphinium has a wide distribution across the Northern Hemisphere and even into mountainous regions of tropical Africa, its *origin* as a garden plant is more complex.
Given it’s a hybrid with “Blue” in the name, it likely has ancestors from species like *Delphinium elatum* which is native to Europe and Asia, and *Delphinium grandiflorum* from Siberia, which is often used in breeding for blue colors.
However, the most accurate answer is that **Delphinium ‘Diamonds Blue’ doesn’t have a single “native region”**. It’s a result of horticultural breeding, likely developed in a nursery or garden setting in Europe or North America. The parent species may come from various parts of the Northern Hemisphere, but the specific cultivar itself is a product of cultivation.
Therefore, **it’s best to say it is a horticultural hybrid with ancestors from Europe and Asia, rather than a plant with a distinct native geographical location.** Look into the specific species used to breed ‘Diamonds Blue’ for a more precise answer, but information is hard to come by.
