  • Reaching a majestic height of 1.5m, this tall herbaceous perennial captivates with its long spikes of semi-double flowers, soft blue with a touch of pink that imparts an almost mauve appeal, while the petals display pale blue and occasional green tinges. The creamy-white eyes add a mesmerising focal point to the blooms, creating a delightful contrast.

    Blooming from early to midsummer, this striking hybrid, known for its architectural presence, becomes a standout feature in ornamental and cottage-themed borders, and its flowers, adored by bees, make a superb addition to cut arrangements. Ideal for the sunny back reaches of a border, Delphinium 'Spindrift' offers weeks of enchanting floral display.


  • Garden care:
    For best results, plant in an open spot with fertile, freely-draining soil and protect the young foliage against slug and snail damage.

    During the growing season, apply a seaweed or balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks. While wearing gloves, stake the emerging flower spike with a stout bamboo cane and tie it in as it grows.

    Cutting back the faded flower stems to a flowering side shoot will help encourage a second flush of flowers.
    • Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten
