  1. #Delphinium 'Pacific Giants'. Frank Reinelt created a group of hybrids of D. elatum with D. nudicaule in the 1930s, with double flowers dense on the spike. Since then the genetics has regressed closer to the wild forms, so it's a bit hit and miss what you'll get growing from seed. If you want to get dependable results choose one of the named selections grown as clones.

  2. Some of my delphiniums are just blue, but on the same plant, there's an occasional spray of these exuberant two-colored ones

  3. I don't have Delphinium in my garden(although I love them), but I noticed countless leaves from foxglove flowers on the way—way more than I have ever had!

  4. #Delphinium 'Pacific Giant', originally bred from D. nudicaule x D. elatum by Frank Reinelt in the 1930s in California, but the strain has reverted and most of a packet of seeds will be this basic blue + purple with white bee (that thing is the middle is called a bee), with spread-out flower spikes. Pretty but not what's generally pictured on the packet. D. 'Magic Fountains' is a better bet.
