Flowering Months Potting On Months Planting Out Months

For that cottage garden look, these magnificent dark blue delphiniums are invaluable. Tall enough to create vertical structure, but more manageable than the very tall varieties, Delphinium 'Dark Blue & White Bee' is suitable for the middle of smaller garden borders and less sheltered sites, without demanding heavy staking. The flowers are densely packed on thick flower spikes and their rich blue colouring with a contrasting white eye is simply breathtaking. With so many garden flowers covering the magenta to pink range, this is a stand-out colour that never fails to create impact in borders. Height: 90cm (36"). Spread: 30cm (12").

How to Grow

Pot up delphinium plants using free-draining compost, and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outside. Once they are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting them outdoors. Choose a sunny position that is sheltered from strong winds, on moist, well drained soil. Protect young delphiniums from slugs and snails.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.
