Fancy Smokey Eyes Delphinium Seeds

Fancy Smokey Eyes Delphinium is an elegant lacy-flowered delphinium selection known for its soft white blooms washed with smoky lavender, pale lilac, and subtle gray-blue tones. The delicate semi-double to double flowers rise on graceful stems above finely cut foliage, creating a refined, romantic display in borders, cottage gardens, and cutting gardens. Its cool pastel coloring gives the plant a misty, old-fashioned charm, while the upright flower spikes provide beautiful vertical interest from late spring into summer.

Garden Uses:
Fancy Smokey Eyes is ideal for cottage gardens, perennial borders, cutting gardens, pollinator plantings, and romantic mixed flower beds. The pale lavender-white flowers blend beautifully with roses, foxgloves, campanula, dianthus, larkspur, cosmos, snapdragons, and ornamental grasses. The tall, airy stems are excellent for adding height and softness to borders, while the unusual smoky coloring makes the blooms especially attractive in fresh floral arrangements.

Growing Information:
Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before outdoor planting time, or sow outdoors in cool weather. Delphinium seed often germinates best with cool conditions and consistent moisture. Sow lightly on the surface of moist seed-starting mix and cover very lightly. Germination may occur in 14-28 days. Plants prefer full sun in cooler climates and light afternoon shade in hot regions. Provide fertile, well-drained soil and regular moisture. Fancy Smokey Eyes typically grows 24-36 inches tall, though height may vary with growing conditions. Taller stems may benefit from light support in windy locations.
