Breezin' Delgenius™ Delphinium Brings Summer-Long Blues
The Breezin' Delgenius™ Delphinium PP#32994 (Delphinium 'ET DLP 17-11') is a stunning reblooming hybrid with bold, sky-blue flower spikes with a matching 'bee' in the center. These hybrids defy the usual short bloom span of traditional Delphiniums. Breezin' is part of the revolutionary Delgenius™ series, bred for strong stems, extended bloom time, and floriferous, heat-tolerant performance.
It blooms repeatedly from early summer to frost, drawing pollinators and praise alike with its dense, frilly spires. Though it looks delicate, this perennial is anything but fussy. With a compact, upright growth habit, Breezin' tops out around 12-24 inches tall and wide—perfect for tight borders or even large containers.
The deep green, divided leaves create a tidy, mounding base that complements its vertical bloom display. Each flower spike brims with ruffled, semi-double blooms in an ethereal pale blue with hints of white, glowing against green foliage. While it doesn't produce berries or seed pods, its persistent flowering offers a nearly continuous display with regular deadheading.

- Reblooming hybrid Delphinium with extended summer bloom

Landscaping Uses
Standing 2 feet tall with a mounded base and upright bloom spikes, Delgenius™ Breezin Delphinium adds vertical charm and serene color in the summer.

Long known as a symbol of boldness and joy, Delphiniums make cheerful garden companions and excellent cut flowers.

- Mid-border filler with reblooming flair
- Pairs beautifully with Roses, Coreopsis, or Salvia
Care and Maintenance

Native Delphinium relatives, also known as Larkspur, hail from Europe and Asia, with the hybrid Delgenius™ line showing remarkable tolerance for heat and humidity.
Breezin' is hardy in USDA Zones 4 through 8 and shines in full sun to part shade in areas with good air circulation.
