Delphinium elatum ‘Highlander Crystal Delight’
Introduce a touch of enchantment to your summer borders with Delphinium elatum Highlander Crystal Delight. Developed in Scotland, the Highlander series is known for its vigour, disease resistance, and hardiness, producing strong plants with sturdy, self-supporting stems that grow to around 1 metre in height. This makes them more manageable and better suited to windy spots and container planting compared to the taller Excelsior hybrids. Along with their robust growth, these delphiniums offer delicate flowers in unusual colour combinations, creating stunning bicolour effects. The double blooms of Delphinium Highlander Crystal Delight are packed with frilly, soft lilac petals, highlighted by creamy green markings. Regular deadheading of the flower spikes encourages more blooms, giving you enough flowers for vase arrangements or even dried petals for confetti. This beautiful variety captures the romantic essence of a cottage garden, adding charm to any space. Plant them at the back or middle of your border, where they will stand out among other perennials from June to July, providing a striking display that?s sure to impress your neighbours. Height: 100cm (39in), Spread: 45cm (18in). Plant size varies seasonally, so height and spread at delivery may differ from images.
