Tall stately plant with finely cut foliage. Exceptional specimen plant. D. x elatum are the most spectacular but also the hardest to grow in the Midwest as it prefers cooler summer conditions for best growth. Tends to be short lived (2-3 years). D. x belladonna is the delphinium of choice for the Midwest as it does better in the heat and is longer lived; not as spectacular a bloom.

Care

• Moist well-drained soil in full sun location. Heavy feeder needing fertilizer in spring and mid summer.
• Don't plant too deep.
