Delphinium Elatum 'Delphina™ Rose/White Bee'
Delphinium Elatum 'Delphina Rose - White Bee


 
These tall, stately perennials are an old-time favorite but are relatively short-lived. Most prefer cooler climates and well-drained soil. Delphiniums are also heavy feeders and benefit from the addition of humus to the soil. Plants bloom early summer. Taller types have hollow stems and may require staking to protect from wind and rain. Plant near the back of the border.

Genetically dwarf like Delphina Dark Blue, but with rose-pink flowers and white centers instead, blooms will start to spike in just through August, will rebloom with dead heading. It doesn't need PGRs and makes well branched plant with strong flower spike. Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Deer resistant.

Morning sun, afternoon shade
Prefers well drained humus amended soil
Height: 18" - 20" tall
