The detail
Add a stunning vertical accent to your garden with this Delphinium Pixie Neptune Rocket. Part of the compact Pixie series, this dwarf delphinium produces gorgeous spires of deep blue flowers with contrasting dark bee centres, making it a standout addition to borders, cottage gardens and patio containers alike. Supplied as a garden-ready plant in a 3 litre pot, it is well-established and ready to plant straight into the ground or a decorative container.
The Pixie series has been bred specifically for smaller spaces, offering all the classic charm of traditional delphiniums in a much more compact and sturdy habit. This makes them far less prone to wind damage and reduces the need for staking, while still delivering an impressive floral display throughout the summer months. As a hardy perennial, it will return year after year, rewarding you with reliable colour each season.
