Why Choose the Delphina Series?

The Delphina series is known for producing classic delphinium beauty on naturally compact, bushy plants, making it ideal for container gardens, small spaces, and the front of mixed flower beds. Unlike traditional tall varieties that may need staking, Delphinium Delphina Dark Blue White Bee holds its own — with sturdy stems and excellent branching habit.

This variety delivers:

  • 🌸 Deep blue-violet petals with contrasting white bee centers

  • 📏 Height: 20–24 inches — no staking required

  • 🌿 Compact, uniform growth — great for containers

  • ✂️ Long-lasting blooms perfect for cut flower arrangements

  • ❄️ Cold hardy and loved in cottage-style perennial borders

Growing Tips

Delphiniums are cool-weather lovers that thrive in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. For best results:

  • Sow indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost date

  • Germination temp: 65–70°F

  • Transplant outdoors after hardening off

  • Spacing: 10–12 inches apart

  • Light: Full sun to partial shade

  • Fertilize regularly to support tall flowering spikes

Delphiniums can be grown as short-lived perennials or annuals depending on climate. In cooler zones, they’ll return year after year with proper care.

  • 🌼 Cottage gardens

  • 🌾 Mixed perennial borders
