Delphinium x belladonna 'Cliveden Beauty'

Delphiniums were ideally suited to the Victorian age when they could be fussed over, staked, and kept away from other plants. Since then, hybridizers have worked to perfect smaller plants that require significantly less effort. x belladonna is one such plant.

'Cliveden Beauty' is an easy to grow, vigorous plant with graceful spires of sky-blue flowers in early summer. No staking required! Cut back immediately after flowering to encourage a second flush in fall.
