Queen of the Cut Flowers

Queen of the Cut Flowers

Ask any florist and they will agree the lovely delphinium is truly queen of the cut flowers. Arrangements using these delicate beauties are absolutely stunning! Colors range from pure whites to deep purples and blues. Use of this bloom for arranging in large vases dates back to Victorian times. They are classic because of their form, prized for their longevity and deserve their status as queen.

Pricey to purchase as a cut because of their delicate nature, growing your own is an easy option.
Requirements include full sun, well drained rich soil and slug protection. Plant in backgrounds as some varieties grow to 5 feet! Tall bloom spikes may need to be staked. Delphiniums can start to bloom as early as June while some varieties bloom well into August. Cold hardiness is not an issue here as most delphiniums are hardy to –40C.

We currently stock many different colors including purples, blues, lavenders and raspberry.
