Delphinium Magical® Atlanta

Big delphinium color in a compact package

Commonly known as Larkspur, delphiniums are prized for their richly colored, vertical flower spikes that create striking focal points and add dramatic height to the garden.

Magical® Atlanta puts a fresh spin on this garden classic with its compact habit and strong, upright stems, making it an excellent choice for containers, patio plantings, and smaller garden spaces. An early-flowering selection, plants branch freely, producing multiple flowering stems in addition to the main spike, resulting in a fuller appearance and an extended season of vibrant blooms. After flowering, plants can be cut back to the ground to encourage a fresh flush of growth and another round of colorful blooms. To perform best, delphiniums prefer cool to temperate climates and moist, well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
