PERKINS’ PERENNIALS 
BEAUTIFUL DELPHINIUMS 
Tall and Dramatic — Use for Emphasis and Contrast 
Masses of stately Delphinium are essential to every border. They are one of the standard plants for both light 
and dark blue color in the garden. While blue is the predominating color, in the hybrid strains we have beautiful 
combinations of light blue, dark blue, purple, pink, lavender and white. The eyes or bees may be light or dark. 
The individual florets vary from single to double. Few flowers cause as many people to stop and examine them 
closely as do stately spikes of a beautiful Delphinium. Delphiniums prefer a good soil rich in organic matter and 
a location in full sunlight. 
Giant Pacific Hybrids 
This ts an American production, noted for its long 
spikes and huge flowers of fine texture and clear colors. 
The plants often reach a height of 6 to 8 feet and should 
be placed in the rear of the border. They are more 
resistant to disease than many other strains.
