Description
Delphinium Pagan Purples is a perennial, spectacular hybrid larkspur, producing densely packed spikes of semi-double flowers in various shades of dark blue, purple, and violet during the summer. Each flower is punctuated by a small brown bee. This perennial variety has the double advantage of flowering for a longer period and being resistant to rust and mildew. Irreplaceable as a backdrop in romantic flower beds, in planters, near the house, or in bouquets, this robust plant thrives in sunny, rich, deep, and well-drained soils.
Delphinium 'Pagan Purples' is part of a hybrid series called 'New Millenium' (also known as 'New Zealand Hybrids'), developed in New Zealand. These plants are the result of eleven years of work and selection. They have denser and larger flowers, a much sturdier stem, better disease resistance, and increased longevity.
'Pagan Purples' is a hybrid obtained through cross-breeding with D. elatum among others. All delphiniums belong to the Ranunculaceae family. It is a herbaceous perennial plant that forms clumps of deeply cut, tender green palmate leaves, with solid flower spikes measuring 1.80 m (6ft) high in summer. The flowering period runs from June to September and is loved by pollinating insects. The semi-double flowers are cup-shaped, fairly large, grouped on tall erect spikes, and display a deep and intense blue-violet colour, visible from afar. This plant requires staking, especially in windy situations. It grows from a woody rhizome that vertically penetrates the soil.
Delphiniums always add volume, height and charm to perennial flower beds. They also make good companions for moss or gallica roses, creating charming and romantic displays. Another beautiful combination can be achieved with soft orange daylilies and baby's breath Rosenschleier. This variety is also suitable for creating borders. Its flowers hold up very well in bouquets.
Note: From March to September, the stems of our delphiniums are pruned short to promote better branching of the rootstock and achieve optimal rooting. This also prevents the stems from breaking during transportation.

Planting and care
Delphinium 'Pagan Purples' is not difficult to grow but still requires some precautions: delphiniums hate heavy and damp or dry and poor soils. The soil that suits them is fertile, rich in humus, non-compact, moist, even in summer, but not excessively wet in winter, sheltered from strong winds. Under these conditions, they will live for many years. Plant them in spring after the last frost. Leave a minimum of two or three shoots on young plants and five to seven on well-established delphiniums. During growth, water once or twice a week and apply liquid fertilizer every two or three weeks. Remove faded flowers by cutting the spikes at the level of the small lateral flowering shoots. Cut back the entire plant to ground level in autumn. Avoid letting the plant go to seed in order to keep it longer, unless you want to sow your own seeds. Don't be disappointed if the resulting delphiniums don't have the same appearance as the parent plant, as delphiniums hybridize very easily. Tip: Dare to go for height with these giant plants that structure and balance volumes in the garden. The tallest ones will add volume and lightness against a dark backdrop of hedges or conifers. Intermediate-sized ones will dress up tall flowerbeds, just like giant dahlias. Look after the vegetation with regular watering. Watch out for slugs.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
