Description

Delphiniums are a genus of perennial flowering plants in the family Ranunculaceae, native to the Northern Hemisphere. They produce tall, showy spikes of flowers in shades of blue, purple, pink, white, and sometimes yellow. Delphiniums prefer cool, moist climates and well-drained soil. They are often grown in cottage gardens, mixed borders, or as cut flowers. Many cultivars of Delphiniums have been developed with improved flower color, size, and disease resistance. Some popular cultivars include ‘Pacific Giants’, ‘Magic Fountain’, and ‘Guardian’. Delphiniums are also attractive to bees and butterflies, making them a great addition to pollinator-friendly gardens. However, they are toxic to humans and pets if ingested.
