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.
Approx 30 seeds per packet

| Sowing Tips |
Sow indoors from March–May or again in late winter (July–August). Cover lightly – seeds need darkness to germinate. Once seeds have sprouted ensure they have light. Keep moist but cool while germinating. 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. Harvest when ⅓–½ of florets are open for the best vase life. |
