Delphinium ×cultorum
Also called Garden Delphinium
Garden delphiniums are hybrid perennials bred from several Delphinium species, grown for tall spikes of blue, purple, white or pink flowers. They need full sun, rich well-drained soil and staking, and they resent wet winter soil.
Garden delphiniums are horticultural hybrids derived from some perennial species in the genus Delphinium. Breeding of garden delphiniums started from the 19th century in Western Europe. In the 20th century, the United States, Japan and New Zealand also contributed to delphinium breeding.
