Delphinium New Millennium (Delphinium)

Color Name: New Millennium Mini Stars
If you love the look of traditionally tall Delphiniums but they're just too tall for your use, you're in luck! From the breeder of the New Millennium Hybrids comes a brand new series of truly dwarf Delphiniums that have all the beautiful characteristics of their taller cousins except their height! Topping out under 2 ½ feet tall, these new dwarf Delphiniums never need staking and won't fall over in their pots. They can be grown near the front to middle of the border and work better in windy sites than taller varieties.
Growing Tips: Delphiniums thrive in the cooler climates of the north country, though they will grow as far south as zone 7. They grow best in rich, well-drained soil with a basic pH. If your soil is naturally acidic, adding lime will help to provide these conditions. They are also heavy feeders. The addition of compost or manure to the soil as well the use of granular fertilizer will result in healthier, stronger plants. Delphiniums can be grown in full sun or partial shade, though full sun may help to prevent powdery mildew. When planting, be sure to set the crown at or above soil level to avoid rot.
