Elegant and striking, Cliveden Beauty is a classic delphinium in a rare clear sky blue, tipped with contrasting white “bee” centres. Tall and statuesque, this variety produces dense flower spikes that bring drama and cool-toned calm to the early summer garden. Ideal for the back of borders or tall, elegant arrangements, it’s a true English garden staple with lasting vase power.

Best for: Statement arrangements, cottage-style gardens, early summer colour.

Transplant gently to avoid disturbing delicate roots.

Growing Tips

Plant in full sun to part shade, in deep, fertile, well-drained soil.

Needs staking or support to hold tall flower spikes upright.

Deadhead or cut back after flowering to encourage a second flush.

Mulch around roots to keep cool in warmer climates.
