Delgenious™ Glitzy Delphinium

The Glitzy Delgenius™ Delphinium PP#32,993 (Delphinium 'ET DLP 17-10') is a dazzling new perennial that brings the drama in all the best ways. With electric violet-blue blossoms edged in white and with a white 'bee' in the center! and held on sturdy stems that don't flop, this reblooming hybrid stuns from late spring all the way into early fall. And yes—it's fragrant!

Also known as Perennial Larkspur, Glitzy holds a tight, upright form and grows only 12-24 inches tall, making it perfect for small gardens, tight spaces, or elegant edging. Each finely dissected, deeply lobed green leaf forms a tidy clump at the base, while the flower spikes rise like exclamation points from the middle.

Unlike older Delphiniums that need staking and babysitting, this one's stems are thick and strong—no flopping here, thank you very much! Developed for resilience and repeat blooms, the Delgenius™ series marries old-fashioned charm with modern muscle!
