Delphinium ‘Pink Punch’ (Candle Larkspur)

Standing out in the garden with its rich pink flowers, Delphinium ‘Pink Punch’ is a tall herbaceous perennial with sturdy flower spikes, densely packed with frilly, mulberry pink florets adorned with a white, brown, or pink striped bee. 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.
