Notes
'Magic Fountain Lilac Pink' delphinium (Delphinium elatum 'Magic Fountain Lilac Pink') is a perennial for borders and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Blue, pink, purple, or white flowers appear in spring and again in summer, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Its upright habit suits the back of a bed.
Pairs well with Kansas peony, Lupine, and Lady's mantle.
