Delphinium ‘Dwarf Fountains Mix’ is a compact variety of delphinium known for its stunning spires of densely packed flowers in shades of blue, purple, lavender, pink, and white. Unlike traditional tall delphiniums, which can reach over 1.5 meters, the Dwarf Fountains Mix grows to a more manageable height of 60–90 cm, making it ideal for cut flowers, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial borders, providing height, texture, and vibrant colour in a compact form.
Grows to approximately 60–80 cm high
Spread of 30–40 cm
Ideal for small gardens, cut flowers, borders, and containers
Growing Conditions:
Full sun to light part shade
Prefers rich, well-drained soil
Regular watering during dry periods helps prolong flowering
Shelter from strong winds is ideal due to the flower spike habit
Flowering Time:
Spring to early summer
May repeat flower later in the season if cut back after blooming
Garden Use:
Excellent in cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, or mixed perennial beds
Beautiful as a focal point in smaller garden spaces
Works well in pots or raised planters due to its dwarf stature
Cut Flower Use:
The flower spikes are long-lasting in a vase, making it a popular choice for floral designers and growers who love fresh, elegant blooms with character.
Florist’s Tip:
To help prevent petal drop on your cut Delphinium Dwarf Fountains, add a few drops of Florissant to the vase water. This simple step helps keep blooms fresher for longer.
