This exceptional Delphinium is a must-see to be believed, offering a rare coral-red hue that sets it apart from traditional varieties. The charming flowers are held just above the foliage, creating a delightful display throughout spring and summer. By removing faded spikes at the base, you can encourage repeat blooming well into the fall, extending the plant’s visual appeal.
