Delphiniums are prized for adding towering interest to garden borders, with tall and stately flower spikes that bloom from late spring. These classic cottage garden plants are ideal for the back of the border, standing head and shoulders above other perennials with bold and brilliant flowers that cannot be ignored.
Delphiniums are perhaps best known for those varieties that bloom in luminous blue and shades of deep purple, as seen in the images here. Whether grown to admire in garden borders or cut and used as part of floral displays indoors, delphiniums have a well-deserved reputation for adding drama and impact.
