Delphinium 'Percival'
Delphinium ‘Percival’ is a hybrid delphinium. While it’s impossible to pinpoint a *specific* geographical origin for this particular cultivar, we can say:
* **General Delphinium Origin:** Delphiniums as a genus are native to the Northern Hemisphere, with concentrations in:
* **Europe:** Especially mountainous regions like the Alps.
* **Asia:** Central Asia, Siberia, and parts of China.
* **North America:** Western North America, particularly the Rocky Mountains.
* **Hybrid Origin:** Because ‘Percival’ is a hybrid (a cross between different delphinium species or cultivars), its genetic heritage is likely a mix of these regions.
* **Bred for Cultivation:** Delphinium cultivars like ‘Percival’ are typically bred in nurseries and horticultural centers, often in places like:
* **Europe:** Primarily the UK and other parts of Europe.
* **North America:** Including the United States and Canada.
**Therefore, the most likely scenario is that Delphinium ‘Percival’ was bred in a nursery in Europe or North America, using parent plants with origins in Europe, Asia, and/or North America.** It doesn’t have a single “native region” in the way a wild species does.
