Dwarf Delphinium 'Delphina™ 'Light Blue White Bee', Delphina Series
Noted for its small size, Delphinium elatum Delphina™ 'Light Blue White Bee' is a dwarf herbaceous perennial with exceptionally sturdy flower spikes, densely packed with sky blue flowers with white bees. Blooming for weeks from early to mid summer, it does not require staking and looks most impressive in groups of 3-5 plants. Rising from a mound of divided, rich green foliage, this Delphinium has a neat compact habit. Perfect for small gardens and containers.
- Grows up to 14-18 in. tall (40-45 cm) and 6-10 in. wide (15-25 cm).
- Performs best in full sun or part shade in fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Provide a sheltered location to protect your plants from strong winds.
- Attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, but ignored by deer and rabbits!
- Welcomed addition to beds and borders, cottage gardens or containers. For best visual impact, plant your Delphiniums in groups.
- Removing spent flower spikes will promote another round of blooms in late summer or fall.
