Add striking vertical interest to your garden with this set of three Delphinium Dark Blue White Bee plants. Renowned for their tall, elegant flower spikes, this classic variety produces rich, deep blue blooms with a distinctive contrasting white centre, known as the 'bee'. A staple of traditional cottage gardens and herbaceous borders, these hardy perennials return year after year with a stunning display of colour.

Each plant is supplied as a well-established 1 litre root ball, ready to plant straight into borders, beds, or larger containers. Delphiniums are a favourite among gardeners for their ability to create dramatic height at the back of a border, and they are also highly valued as cut flowers for indoor arrangements.

The tall spires of deep blue flowers are a magnet for bees and other pollinators, making them an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly planting schemes. With the right care, including staking for support and deadheading after the first flush, Delphinium Dark Blue White Bee can reward you with a second flush of flowers later in the season.
