Delphinium elatum ‘Purple Passion’ is a giant delphinium for gardeners who want height, color, and real perennial staying power. Bred by expert delphinium growers in New Zealand, this vigorous beauty offers better longevity, improved mildew resistance, and even more impressive bloom performance with each successive year.

Growing up to 6' tall and 4' wide, Purple Passion Delphinium produces multiple densely packed spikes of electric purple flowers with a dramatic dark eye. The effect is rich, regal, and completely captivating in cottage gardens, cutting gardens, perennial borders, and romantic mixed plantings. The tall flower spikes are spectacular in bouquets, and the blooms attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Plant Delphinium elatum ‘Purple Passion’ in full sun to light afternoon shade with compost-rich, well-drained soil. Rich soil and regular deadheading help encourage those huge repeating spikes. Deer resistant, mildew resistant, vigorous, and wonderfully showy, this is delphinium drama at full height. Explore more towering beauties in our Delphinium collection.
