About this plant
Delphinium Delgenius 'Breezin', part of the Delgenius® series, is an herbaceous perennial developed by a Dutch breeder over a decade to enhance hardiness and heat tolerance. This cultivar showcases a compact, upright habit with frilly, bushy foliage and sturdy, well-branched stems.
Throughout the summer, 'Breezin' produces abundant semi-double lavender-purple flower spikes that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Its robust stems make it an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements, adding elegance to floral displays.

Design tip
The long summer show pairs well with plants that peak earlier, keeping one area interesting for months. In full sun it holds its shape best, and grouping several together keeps the color strong enough to be seen from across the garden.
