What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly celebrate the spectacular, true to description rose and pink coloration of the Delphinium 'Centurion Rose Shades.' When established, the mature spires deliver a dramatic, high impact vertical presence, confirming the series' reputation for superior vigor and height compared to older types. The core friction point centers on value perception. Many buyers feel the premium price is not justified by the small, sometimes fragile starter material received. While successful growers praise the quality genetics and impressive bloom, non-survival or lack of initial performance leads to significant frustration. The plant must perform flawlessly to fully warrant its high cost for this demanding customer base.
