Delphinium

Vibrant flowers are produced on abundant upright spikes. Lofty height makes this a good choice for the middle or back of the garden, where shorter plants can be planted in the foreground. Also makes a lovely cut flower. Remove faded flower stalks to encourage reblooming. Prefers fertile, well-drained soil.
