Delphinium

Delphiniums are a wonderful perennial that produce tall, stately flower spikes in a range of colors from white to blue to pink or rose. They are worth the effort to grow because they are so beautiful and are treasured by both home gardeners and professional cut flower growers.

Cut flower growers can space these plants quite closely (4-6" apart), and it is recommended that some type of support be given to the flower spikes (staking or netting) so that they do not bend over or break under high winds. Note that delphiniums are considered a short-lived perennial and will need to be replaced after 2-3 seasons.
