The detail
Add striking vertical interest to your garden with this collection of three Delphinium Pacific Giants 'Blue Bird' plants. Renowned for their towering flower spikes adorned with clear mid-blue, semi-double florets and a distinctive white centre (known as the 'bee'), Blue Bird is one of the most admired varieties within the celebrated Pacific Giants Series. These cottage garden favourites produce magnificent spires of colour from early to midsummer and, if cut back promptly after flowering, can reward you with a second flush later in the season.
Supplied as three established plants in 1Ltr root-balls, these Delphiniums are ready to plant straight into borders or large containers. They are fully hardy and will return reliably year after year, growing taller and more impressive with each season.
