Delphinium Sky Sensation

Delphinium Sky Sensation is a striking perennial that delivers breathtaking vertical interest with its tall spires of soft sky-blue blooms. Each flower is delicately edged in pale lavender and accented with a snowy white centre, creating a stunning ombré effect that mirrors the tranquillity of a clear summer sky. This variety is perfect for brightening up borders or adding a serene touch to cottage gardens.

Reaching an impressive height of 120-150 cm, Sky Sensation is ideal for the back of borders or as a dramatic feature in mixed beds. Its lush, deeply lobed green foliage forms a sturdy, compact base that offsets the tall, elegant flower spikes. Blooming in early to mid-summer, this delphinium provides a steady burst of colour during the warmest months, making it a reliable choice for both decorative and functional garden designs.

What sets Delphinium Sky Sensation apart is its robust nature. With thicker stems than many other varieties, it withstands summer breezes more effectively, reducing the need for staking in sheltered gardens. Additionally, the pastel blue tones of this variety make it exceptionally versatile, pairing beautifully with a wide range of perennials, from pink roses to white daisies.

We supply top-quality Delphinium Sky Sensation bare root plants to British gardeners who appreciate both beauty and durability. For the best results, plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Space 3-5 plants per square metre for a balanced display. Regular feeding and watering will encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms, while deadheading spent flowers ensures an extended flowering season.

Transform your garden into a haven of elegance with Delphinium Sky Sensation, a timeless addition that combines beauty, strength, and sophistication.
