Delphinium x belladonna 'Bellamosum'
The Delphinium x belladonna 'Bellamosum' is a striking perennial, boasting 4-foot stems adorned with vibrant, deep blue flowers. This cultivar offers enhanced durability compared to hybrid varieties and provides an extended bloom period, often reblooming in late summer and fall with pruning. It thrives in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Ideal for borders or as a cut flower, its stalks encourage a second flush of blooms. In warmer climates, it can be grown as a cool-season annual. Shipped in a 1-pint container, it comes with a 1-year guarantee.

What customers say
Customers highly value the Delphinium 'Bellamosum' primarily for its stunning true blue coloration and elegant, airy habit, which offers dramatic vertical interest. Initial reviews praise the excellent packaging and the healthy condition of the received plants. When established, this perennial often blooms reliably, with its deep blue hue consistently exceeding expectations. However, success is tied to specific cultural needs. A notable concern involves establishment failure, particularly in heavy clay or wet soils, underscoring the critical requirement for excellent drainage. For those experiencing loss, the premium price point diminishes the perceived value. Despite the cultivation challenges, the consensus is that a successful 'Bellamosum' is a magnificent, high-impact addition for gardeners prepared to meet its specific requirements.
