Delphinium Cheer Blue F1
2020 AAS Flower Winner
The AAS Judges in cooler, more northern climates loved this new compact delphinium that’s covered with gorgeous blue flowers. This seed propagated variety has great vigor, excellent germination, and is very easy to grow. Cheer’s uniformity makes it a great bedding, container, and landscape plant. With the earlier bloom time and slightly extended flower period into early summer, Northern gardeners will be in blue heaven!
