Description

A well known plant from olden days. Ideally put at the back of a border, where its dark blue flower spikes with their white centres will be spectacular.

The Delphinium ‘Blue Bird’ is a popular perennial notable for its tall, vibrant dark blue flower spikes with white centres, reaching approximately 150 cm in height and 60 cm in spread. It typically blooms from early to mid-summer. This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade, requires rich, well-drained soil, and should be kept consistently moist .

For optimal care, provide support like stakes to prevent flopping, apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, and use balanced fertilizer in spring to promote growth. Regular deadheading can encourage a second bloom. Be vigilant for pests like aphids and slugs, and manage fungal diseases by ensuring good air circulation and avoiding wet foliage. Ideally, position Delphinium ‘Blue Bird’ at the back of borders, complemented by shorter plants for visual appeal. With proper attention, it can serve as a striking focal point in any garden.
