(Delphinium)

The dwarf, bushy habit and long bloom time of delphiniums in the Summer Series make these sweet garden perennials especially desirable. In summer 'Summer Cloud' produces plentiful, loose spikes covered with spurred, five-petaled flowers of sky blue with white centers (called bees). These are short, sturdy and well branched, so unlike other delphiniums, they do not require staking. Regular deadheading will help promote flowering.

These plants perform best in full sun, evenly moist soil with good...

(Aurora Delphinium)

The Aurora Series of larkspur includes plants that are vigorous, early flowering perennial that densely lines its tall flower spikes with blossoms. The deeply lobed, green foliage is accented by a showy display of semi-double (extra petals) flowers, on very tall spikes from late spring to midsummer. Butterflies and hummingbirds will visit the blossoms, called florets, which are available in a range of colors including white, purple, lavender and medium blue. This is an elatum-type delphinum group.

(Belladonna Delphinium)

Delphiniums in the Belladonna Group are highly regarded for their tall, airy, branched spikes of flowers which bloom in numerous shades of blue and white. These hybrids were developed through extensive breeding of various species native to Asia and North America. Their spurred, five-petaled blossoms are borne on slender, branched stems from early to late summer. Somewhat resembling “elf caps”, the showy blooms are also attractive to bees and butterflies. They rise from basal clumps of lush green,...
