Savor Delphinium's gorgeous blooms in the garden and in bouquets

A cottage garden favorite, Delphiniums boast spikes of brightly-colored flowers in cool colors. The plants form mounds of dark green, glossy foliage topped in early summer by the dramatic, spurred flowers that are perfect for bouquets. Taller varieties form an incredible backdrop for perennial plantings and all types look at home in both formal and informal beds. Plant them in full sun in an area sheltered from strong winds.
