Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Purple Passion' is a new variety bred by the world's best Delphinium experts in New Zealand. Much more vigorous, longer lived, mildew resistant and better with each successive year, you'll love this electric purple giant Delph. To 6' tall, 4' across and multi-spiking, I guarantee an incredible show. Just grow in loamy soil and side-dress with compost in Spring and Summer for huge spikes and to-swoon-for cut flowers. Cut back to 6" when spent for repeat bloom. Bait for snails when small.
