description for "Delphiniums: Delphinium x 'Blue Bird'"
'Blue Bird' Delphinium is quite hardy, but it was created with other considerations in mind. Frank Reinelt, the originator of this series, was looking for a plant that could breed true from seed and bloom the first year from seed. As a result of his success, this 35 year-old strain is famous worldwide. 'Blue Bird' has medium blue flowers with white central bees.
