Larskpur Magic Fountain Mix is a superb dwarf selection that features candle-like spires in a wide range of complementary colours. Sturdy stems, ideal for cutting!

Also suitable for growing in large containers! Direct sow in spring in rich, cool soil, in a sunny, sheltered position.

Delphinium Magic Fountain Mix is one of the many hybrids selected from Delphinium elatum, known as alpine delphinium or candle larkspur. This dwarf Pacific-type selection is a short-lived perennial that forms a 35-40 cm (13.8-15.8 in) wide clump. The leaves are palmately divided or lobed, soft green in colour, topped with 80 cm (31.5 in) tall, very sturdy floral stems in summer. From June to September, simple cup-shaped blooms appear, gathered on erect, wind-resistant spires. They display a wide array of harmonious blue, pink, purple and white shades and are a magnet for foraging insects.

The characteristic silhouette of Delphiniums always brings an elegant fullness, verticality and charm to perennial beds. For a romantic touch, combine them with old roses and Baby's Breath. The long-lasting blooms are particularly suitable for cutting. For dried flower arrangements, hang small bouquets upside down in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. This dwarf selection is also suitable for growing in large pots and containers.
