Delph 
inium —Hardy Larkspur 
Delphiniums are among the most beautiful and most widely used perennials for 
garden display and cutting. The regal stateliness of their massive, colorful spikes is 
unequalled by any other flower. They are of easy culture, succeeding best in deep, 
rich, well-drained soil. Bloom in June, and if spikes are cut close to the ground after 
blooming, new flowering growth will be produced—usually three crops in one season. 
Blooms the first year if sown early.
