Red delphiniums
VER the years, many breeders have strived to grow a red delphinium. x ‘Pink Sensation’. A second-wave of breeding in the 1950s, jointly conducted by Wageningen University in the Netherlands, and the RHS Garden at Wisley in Surrey, resulted in plants known today as the University Hybrids. Many more generations have been developed since, resulting in pink, red and orange-red shades. They all tend to be less vigorous than blue delphiniums, and possibly more prone to mildew.
