The Delphinium Pixie Rose Rocket is a charming compact delphinium producing beautiful spikes of rose-pink flowers with a contrasting dark bee at the centre. Part of the Pixie series, this dwarf variety is specifically bred to deliver all the elegance of traditional delphiniums in a smaller, sturdier form – making it ideal for borders, cottage gardens and containers alike.

A reliable hardy perennial, this delphinium returns year after year with vibrant summer flowering displays. The densely packed flower spikes are a magnet for bees and butterflies, bringing life and colour to any garden setting. Its compact growth habit means it is far less prone to wind damage than taller delphinium varieties, and staking is generally not required.

Supplied as a well-established plant in a 19cm root-ball, ready to plant straight into the garden or a generous patio container.
