The first dwarf, barely-there blush-pink flowering Delphinium works its charm into any sized yard and garden, or even container plantings!

Unlike its taller cousins, Delphinium Summer Mornings forms compact mounds that are perfect for borders or in mixed containers. The dense clumps of deep green foliage display an equally fine textured mound of deeply incised and lobed foliage to further highlight the blushing pink single florets. Romantic, light pink flowers adorn the bushy foliage from early summer through fall.

Very cold-hardy throughout USDA growing zones 3 through 7, Delphiniums are also wonderfully deer, rabbit, and pest-free perennials. Growing to a space-saving mound 10-12 inches in height and width when in bloom, these are perfect for tucking into even the smallest garden plots with ease!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Delphiniums grow best in full sun and afternoon shade, in locations with enriched, well-drained soil with a basic pH. If your soil is naturally acidic, adding lime will help to provide these conditions. Delphinium appreciates a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch over the roots. Provide regular moisture all summer for best results and to support the huge blooms.

These dwarf-sized stems rarely need any staking when planted in a protected area, so they remain upright no problem! But if you do grow them in windy locations, a firm stake will help support their stems. Deadhead early enough and you’ll enjoy a rebloom until fall, then as the foliage turns yellow, prune back the mound close to the ground and water it in well one last time before the ground freezes.

They are also heavy feeders. The addition of compost or manure to the soil, as well as a granular fertilizer, will result in healthier, stronger plants. It is recommended you wear gloves when handling these plants since some can develop skin sensitivity. Always monitor young pets and young children around Delphinium.
