Plant description
Stately spires of rich mulberry-rose, shallow cup-shaped flowers with a white-eye in June and July and deeply lobed, mid-green leaves. These unusual mid-season delphiniums make excellent cut-flowers. They work particularly well with other plum-coloured flowers and foliage plants towards the back of a sunny, well-drained herbaceous border.
