Delphinium x elatum 'Cobalt Dreams', New Millennium Series
Standing out in the garden with its true blue flowers, Delphinium ‘Cobalt Dreams’ is a tall herbaceous perennial with sturdy flower spikes, densely packed with cobalt blue florets and brightly contrasting white central bees. Blooming for weeks from early summer to early fall, it adds a wonderful architectural presence to the garden and draws attention from quite a distance. Rising from a mound of divided, dark green foliage, this Delphinium has a neat compact habit. It belongs to the ‘New Millenium’ Series, which is renowned for the excellent form, strong stems, and vigorous growth habit of its hybrids. Cold hardy, they are also more tolerant of heat and humidity.
