Our Delphinium plug plants have been potted into a 5.5cm square pot. When you receive your plugs, either pot them up or plant them out into their permanent positions. Water as needed, but take care not to overwater. For the best results, protect young plants from snails and slugs.

Delphinium Dwarf Fountains ‘Sky Blue (Light Bee)’
A stunning and serene garden favourite, Delphinium Dwarf Fountains ‘Sky Blue (Light Bee)’ produces upright spires of soft, clear sky-blue blooms with a delicate pale “bee” centre. Its compact growth habit makes it perfect for smaller garden beds, borders, cut flowers or container growing, while still delivering the elegance of traditional tall delphiniums.
Compact Sky-Blue Perennial
Grows to approximately 60–80 cm high
Spread of 30–40 cm
Ideal for small gardens, 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 white blooms with character.
Florist’s Tip:
To help prevent petal drop on your cut Delphinium Dwarf Fountains Sky Blue Light Bee, add a few drops of Florissant to the vase water. This simple step helps keep blooms fresher for longer.
