Compact yet stately, Delphinium ‘Sky Blue White Bee’ from the Magic Fountain series offers soft sky-blue blooms with striking white central bees, all carried on sturdy, upright spikes. Bred for a shorter growth habit than the Pacific Giants, this variety is ideal for smaller gardens, windy sites, or growers seeking manageable height without sacrificing impact. Its cool-toned palette and tidy form bring elegance and calm to borders and bouquets alike.
Best for: Cottage gardens, shorter mixed borders, early summer arrangements, and floral displays needing cool, calming colour.
CAUTION - all parts of this plant are poisonous including the seeds so take care when handling.
Approx 30 seeds per packet.

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. |
