There are plenty of beautiful types of delphiniums to add to your planting list if you're a lover of cottage-garden schemes. And in fact, with their architectural structure and bold color, they can work wonderfully in modern plots, too.
When you grow delphiniums, you end up with tall flower towers dazzling at the back of summer borders. Mature plants can reach 6ft high, producing over 100 blooms on each of their many spikes, which point to the sky like the spires of tiny cathedrals.
