Delphinium
Delphinium Blue Bird
Majestic, tall, upright flowering spikes laden with spectacular, vibrant, mid-blue blooms from June to July. This is an elegant, Pacific hybrid with an old-fashioned, stately appearance and an abundance of gorgeous, distinctly cut, grey-green leaves. It has a mound forming growth habit and looks beautiful when planted in bold drifts at the back of a mixed or herbaceous border. Perfect for the cottage garden, it’s also well-suited to high altitude locations and makes excellent cut flowers for fresh floral arrangements. Young foliage benefits from being protected from slug damage in the spring and slender stems should be staked before the flowers appear

Garden Care:
Incorporate lots of well-rotted organic matter into the backfill when planting. Apply generous well rotted organic mulch in early spring and keep well-watered during periods of dry weather.Please Note: Many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means that there is little or no top growth apparent between November and March. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in spring. In the dormant period, we may not have stocks of all varieties in all pot sizes and therefore reserve the right to supply 9cm pots instead of 2 litre and adjust the price accordingly.
