Unsurpassable in the big-and-tall department, Delphinium elatum ‘Dusky Maidens’ is a dramatic perennial delphinium bred for towering spikes, strong stems, and seriously decadent bouquets. XL blooms in mulberry, mauve, and dusky rose tones are accented with dark fuzzy “bees,” creating a rich, romantic look on multiple 3'+ flower spikes.

Growing to at least 6' tall and 4' wide, this giant larkspur brings vertical drama to cottage gardens, cutting gardens, perennial borders, and romantic mixed beds. It blooms in mid-spring, then can reward you with a second fall show if cut back and given a little compost. The long stems are absolutely to-die-for in vases, adding old-fashioned grandeur and moody color indoors.

Plant Delphinium elatum ‘Dusky Maidens’ in full sun to light afternoon shade with rich, compost-amended, well-drained soil for best performance. Grown from seed, flower color may vary slightly. Explore more towering beauties in our Delphinium - Larkspur collection.
