Delphinium Round Table Series Mix - Perennial Larkspur

Larskpur 'Round Table Series Mix' is a richly coloured selection that features handsome spires in pure shades of blue, white and purple. 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 'Round Table Series Mix' brings together several hybrid 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 1.20 m on average. From June to September, simple, cup-shaped blooms appear, gathered on erect spires. They display a wide array of harmonious, rich shades including blue, mauve and white. They 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.
