Delphinium Pacific Giants Mixed Seeds - Perennial Larkspur

Larskpur 'Pacific Giants Mixed' is a classic selection that features tall, stately spires of semi-double blooms in a wide range of complementary colours. The tall flower spikes look gorgeous at the back of summer beds and borders, in front of lower-growing perennials. Also suitable for growing in large containers! Direct sow in spring in rich, cool soil, in a sunny, sheltered position.

Delphinium 'Pacific Giants Mixed' brings together several popular heirloom varieties, selected from Delphinium elatum (known as alpine delphinium or candle larkspur). These short-lived perennials form 50 cm wide clumps. The leaves are palmately divided or lobed, soft green in colour, topped with sturdy floral stems in summer that grow to 1 m tall or more. From June to September, semi-double, cup-shaped blooms appear, gathered on erect, wind-resistant spires. They display a wide array of harmonious blue, pink, purple and white shades and are a magnet to foraging insects.

The characteristic silhouette of Delphiniums always brings an elegant fullness, verticality and charm to perennial beds. For a romantic touch, combine them with old roses and Baby's Breath. The long-lasting blooms are particularly suitable for cutting. For dried flower arrangements, hang small bouquets upside down in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. This selection is also suitable for growing in large pots and containers.
