Description

Create a classic cottage garden look with the elegant pairing of Delphinium 'Guardian Blue' and Delphinium 'Guardian White'. This striking collection produces tall, flower-packed spikes from June, earlier than many other delphiniums, bringing rich colour contrast to borders and large containers from the start of summer.

'Guardian Blue' bears deep blue-purple semi-double flowers with crisp white eyes, while 'Guardian White' brings a fresh, clean contrast with bright white blooms. Together, they rise to around 1.2m on strong, sturdy stems, creating a superb vertical feature that looks every bit as good in the garden as it does cut for the vase.

Florists value delphiniums for their long-lasting flowers, and bumblebees are drawn to the nectar-rich spikes too.

Fully hardy across the UK, both varieties return reliably year after year when planted in a sunny, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil.

Supplied as a collection of two established plants in 3 litre pots, 1 x 'Guardian Blue' and 1 x 'Guardian White', ready to plant.

Top Tips
  • Once first main stem has flowered, cut it down to allow new side shoots to flower as well
Care Information
  • Pot up the plants into larger containers.
  • Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 7-10 days and plant out once all risk of frost has passed.
  • When growing Delphiniums, choose a sunny position that is sheltered from strong winds, on moist, well-drained soil.
  • Protect young delphinium plants from slugs and snails.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
