A very unusual shade of lavender-grey makes Delphinium consolida 'Misty Lavender' a distinctive variety. Its vintage, watercolour shades perfectly capture the romantic nostalgia of cottage gardens. This long flowering annual is a rewarding choice for the back of the border and a long-lasting cut flower. Delphinium consolida 'Misty Lavender' bears tall, elegant spires that have a delightful airiness compared to the soldier-stiff habit of perennial delphiniums. Keep deadheading to encourage the production of flowering side shoots. The dried petals can be used as confetti. Height: 120cm (47in). Spread: 75cm (30in).
