A classic garden perennial that will stand out in any garden or add color to the back of a mixed bed with its royal purple petals and white center that blossoms in early summer. Butterflies and hummingbirds flock to the large flowers. You will want to bring some stalks inside as they make excellent cut-flower bouquets. These hybrid Delphiniums are bred for strong stems to hold up the enormous flowers, excellent form, and when other Delphiniums succumb to heat or humidity these keep producing all while showing excellent cold hardiness.
Growing & Maintenance Tips for Delphinium x New Millennium™ 'Purple Passion'
