New Millenium 'Dwarf Stars' Delphinium is a true dwarf variety that produces large spires of mixed colored blooms in shades of purple, blue pink and cream; some with contrasting bees. Removing spent spikes right after flowering will encourage repeat blooming in fall. Measuring at about 2.5' tall the mixed shades of purple, chiffon blue, cream, mauve, lavender, and pink flowers rise above most garden foliage, but still end up at a manageable size. Perfect for borders, containers, and cottage gardens, and cut flower arrangements!

Delphinium are a classic flower - they are often featured in classic English cottage style gardens. These plants thrive when used to add color and vertical height to a small space. The flower buds are easily recognizable as they shoot upward as spikes during the start of the bloom season. Once they bloom, delphinium draws the eye due to their appealing texture and color. If planted in an exposed area with windy conditions we recommend staking the flower stalks for protection. The vibrant blooms are perfect for pollinators, who will flock to your garden when flowering begins in summer. The spires are a must-have cut flower to keep your vases full! Plus, cutting the flowers will encourage wonderful repeat blooms later in the season.

FAQs

Care & Planting Guide

After your plants have arrived:

The plants in this box have just spent a lot of time being jostled around in the dark and must be unboxed right away. Unpack the entire box, removing packaging material and plants. Remove any plastic covering the pot and/or soil surface and check if the soil is dry. Water anything that is dry or looks wilted. Any plants that have come unpotted during shipping can be replaced in their pots and their roots covered with soil.

Place plants in a cool, shaded spot out of direct sunlight for 24- 48 hours after unpacking them. This allows them a recovery and acclimation period before planting. If you must hold them longer, place them out of direct sunlight, wind, heat, and cold. Check daily for watering.

USDA Hardiness Zones

USDA Hardiness Zones Map

ZONE HARDINESS

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has devised a system to provide gardeners with a basic guide to plant hardiness – how much winter cold a plant can withstand. The Hardiness Zone Map system divides the United States and Canada into numbered zones based on lowest average winter temperature. Even within a zone, different micro-climates exist, such as large urban areas which may be warmer or land situated at different elevations.

WHAT EFFECTS PLANT HARDINESS

The Hardiness Zone Map is a valuable tool but it is not foolproof. There are a variety of factors that can influence the hardiness of a given plant in a garden. These factors include: soil type, drainage, snow cover, exposure to wind, winter, rainfall (or lack of), as well as fluctuations in temperature.
