Description

Delphinium Butterfly Blend (Delphinium grandiflorum) is a delightful choice for gardeners seeking compact, heat-tolerant blooms. This dwarf variety, native to China, is known for its ability to thrive in small spaces, containers, or as an accent in cottage or border gardens. Unlike traditional tall delphiniums, this blend features 1″ cup-shaped flowers in marine blue, light blue, soft rose, and white colors, blooming prolifically from late spring to summer. Reaching just 12″–16″ tall, they are also a great choice for windy areas where taller plants might fall over. Perennial in USDA zones 3–7, this blend attracts pollinators and is deer-resistant.

160 seeds.
