Delphinium 'Magic Fountains Sky Blue White Bee'

Delphinium ‘Magic Fountains Sky Blue White Bee’ (Delphinium × belladonna ‘Magic Fountains Sky Blue White Bee’) combines sky-blue and white blooms accented with dark “bee” centres on sturdy, compact spikes. From early to mid-summer, each 45–60 cm (18–24 in) stem holds a succession of two-toned flowers that light up borders, pollinator gardens and cutting beds. Unlike taller delphiniums, this Magic Fountains series stays tidy without staking and tolerates light afternoon shade. Thriving in rich, moist, well-drained soil and protected from scorching sun, it’s hardy in Canadian zones 3–7 and adored by bees and butterflies alike.
