DELPHINIUM, BLACKMORE & LANGDON HYBRIDS 
DELPHINIUM, PF 
Modern hybrid Delphiniums have become the dominent 
flowers in the perennial border of late June. In deep, rich 
soil, they grow 6 feet tall or more, with huge spikes of large 
flowers, varying in colors from the darkest violet to pale 
lavender. Lower growing types are also valuable for both 
border and cut flower use; the Chinese and Butterfly types are 
fine for bedding. With hybrids, plants established several 
years produce the best flowers. If the bloom is cut down to 
the ground, a second flowering spike is produced.

thereafter. 5 feet.
