Delphinium ‘Magic Fountains White/Dark Bee’


Magic Fountains Delphinium

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.175.560


Delphiniums are the stars of the early summer border. Plants form low mounds of deeply-cut green leaves, bearing tall spikes of satiny flowers. This mid-sized selection has white petals with a dark centre, or “bee”. Removing faded spikes at the base will encourage repeat blooming in fall. In hot, humid summer regions, plants do not usually last more than 2 to 3 years. Plants are often attacked by mildew in mid summer; simply cut back hard to encourage fresh foliage. Use a high phosphorous fertilizer each year, in early spring. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten.
