The tall hybrid Delphiniums are the outstanding element of every well-bred garden and get most of the press accorded to this genus. However, the sturdy and graceful species Delphiniums, including Delphinium x belladonna 'Bellamosum,' are equally charming, and a good deal more durable. Their colors are stunning and the period of bloom is long, in part because plants produce secondary spikes in late summer and fall. Delphiniums require full sun and rich soil amended with lime. 'Bellamosum' is bright, deep blue, with 4′ stems.
Delphiniums are magnificent in a border, and we suggest you plant at least a few in the cutting garden, for the spikes, if cut when a quarter of the flowers are open, last a week in water. Delphiniums require full sun and rich soil amended with lime. In the South, they are best planted in the fall and treated as cool-season annuals. Gardeners in the desert Southwest should skip them altogether.
