Delphinium – Blue Spires of Beauty
Delphiniums are a show-stopping favourite in classic cottage gardens, with tall spires of vivid blue blooms that bring height, drama, and elegance to garden beds. These striking perennials (or biennials) thrive in cooler climates and make a beautiful cut flower with their stately form and rich colour.
Best grown in full sun with protection from strong winds, Delphiniums prefer rich, well-drained soil and benefit from a little staking to support their lofty blooms. Bees and butterflies adore them!
