Couldn't load pickup availability
Softly blushed and beautifully compact, Delphinium ‘Cherry Blossom’ from the Magic Fountain series produces spires of delicate rose-pink blooms with contrasting white bees. Bred for a shorter, sturdier habit, this variety is ideal for smaller spaces or windy sites, offering the same romantic charm of taller delphiniums in a more manageable form. Its gentle colour and graceful presence make it a lovely choice for pastel borders and cottage-style arrangements.
Best for: Romantic garden borders, compact floral displays, pastel-toned bouquets, and sheltered or small garden spaces.
CAUTION - all parts of this plant are poisonous including the seeds so take care when handling.
Approx 30 seeds per packet.

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.
