Garden delphiniums are horticultural hybrids derived from some perennial species in the genus Delphinium. Breeding of garden delphiniums started from the 19th century in Western Europe. In the 20th century, the United States, Japan and New Zealand also contributed to delphinium breeding.
There are mainly two cultivar groups of garden delphinium:
Some Delphinium cultivars belong to neither group, such as D. grandiflorum cultivars which don't involve interspecific hybridization and D. × ruysii 'Pink Sensation' which is a hybrid between Elatum Group and D. nudicaule.[2]
