Delphinium Highlander™Series hybrid Sweet Sensation USPP#20341

Inventor: Tony Coakley- Glasgow, Scotland

Plants: These blue-green-tinged multi-petalled whorled flowers in deep royal mauve stand proudly upright on 40-cm stems.  The stunning bud starts out dark purple.  The sturdy flower spike supports some 30 florets and holds itself high where often other delphiniums fall down.  Each 50-petal floret is 6 cm in diameter and 2.1 cm deep.  Foliage is a lovely medium green, starting in a rosette arrangement at the plant base and alternating along the flowering stem. This double dwarf delphinium looks ravishing in the middle or front of the perennial garden – great for showing off how unique it is. It is also wonderful as a cut flower.
