Plant Description
Delphinium ‘Dark Blue White Bee’ is a striking perennial that serves as a stunning
focal point in any garden. Its strong, upright spikes are adorned with colourful, semi-
double dark blue blooms, each highlighted by a distinctive bright white central “bee”
or eye. These lush flowers rise above deep green foliage, creating an elegant and
architectural presence in the summer border.
Flowering typically begins in June and continues through the summer. With regular
deadheading, a second flush of blooms may follow in the season. Not only is the
Magic Fountains Dark Blue variety visually impressive, but it also plays a valuable
role in supporting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
This delphinium is ideal for use as a feature plant in cottage gardens, perennial
borders, or mixed beds, where its tall floral spires provide vertical interest and vibrant
colour. It thrives best in fertile, well-drained soil and benefits from feeding every
couple of weeks during the growing season and it prefers partial sun.
To keep your delphinium healthy, ensure good air circulation around the plant and
maintain a clean growing area to reduce the risk of pests such as aphids and slugs,
to which it can be susceptible. Prompt removal of spent flowers not only keeps the
plant tidy but also encourages more blooms.
With its dramatic structure, vivid coloration, and pollinator appeal, Delphinium ‘Dark
Blue White Bee’ is a true gem for any garden enthusiast.
