Delphinium 'Darling Sue'

Delphiniums bear tall upright spikes laden with intensely-coloured flowers. They're a traditional staple of cottage garden schemes, providing height and a touch of drama to ornamental borders. The flowers are loved by bees and are superb for cutting.

Delphinium ‘Darling Sue’ has wonderful semi-double flowers in the palest pink with contrasting thick, dark stamens. It beautifully sets off more colourful blooms, both in the border and the vase.

For best results grow Delphinium ‘Darling Sue’ at the back of a sunny border in moist but well-drained soil. Although their flowering season is quite short, delphiniums can often be coaxed into producing a few later flowers if the flower spikes are cut down as soon as the blooms are over.
