Delphinium elatum 'Million Dollar Blue'

Million Dollar Delphiniums

Common Name: Hybrid Bee Delphinium

This Delphinium is the perfect match to ‘Million Dollar Blush’, offering a shorter option for Hybrid Bee Delphiniums. Large spikes of semi-double to double true blue flowers have very erect stems. Strong stems carry the prominent blossoms above the dark green, deeply dissected foliage in early summer and then again in late summer or early fall. ‘Million Dollar Blue’ is very heat tolerant as well as being cold hardy to zone 3.

Delphinium are a classic garden perennial. These plants are excellent for adding height to small spaces. Their tall flower spikes are easily recognizable when they come into flower in summer. When in flower, the spikes of these plants become heavy and should be staked to avoid toppling over in rough weather, especially taller varieties. Newer hybrids are longer lived than some of the more traditional cultivars.
