Delphinium Highlander Crystal Delight

Delphinium Highlander Crystal Delight is a truly exquisite variety that brings a touch of refined beauty to any garden. This double-flowered delphinium features stunning blooms in a delicate shade of pale lavender, edged with hints of soft white, and each flower is further enhanced by a subtle green centre. The intricate petal formation gives an almost frosted appearance, evoking the magic of morning dew glistening in the sunlight.

Reaching a majestic height of approximately 90-120 cm, Highlander Crystal Delight is ideal for the back of borders or as a standout in cottage gardens. The foliage is deeply lobed and a rich green, creating a dense, textural backdrop for the ethereal blooms. Flowering in early to mid-summer, this delphinium adds vertical elegance and a splash of soft, cool colours to your outdoor space during the peak gardening season.

What sets this variety apart is its unique double blooms, which are rarely found in delphiniums, making it a true collector’s choice. Unlike many other delphiniums, Highlander Crystal Delight has a robust structure, offering better resistance to wind and rain. It’s perfect for cutting gardens too, as its blooms retain their beauty in floral arrangements.

We supply premium-quality Delphinium Highlander Crystal Delight bare root plants to British gardeners. For the best results, plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position. These plants thrive with regular feeding and deadheading to encourage prolonged blooming. Staking may be required in exposed areas to support their impressive height.

Introduce Delphinium Highlander Crystal Delight to your garden for a unique and elegant addition that combines beauty, strength, and charm in equal measure.
