Etymology

The name 'Delphinia' is derived from the Greek word 'delphin', meaning 'dolphin'.

The genus was first established in the late 18th century and has since become a significant part of garden horticulture. Delphiniums have been cultivated for centuries and were particularly popular in Victorian gardens. The plant gained recognition for its majestic floral spikes and vibrant colors, making them an essential element in ornamental horticulture.
