Delphinium elatum 'Highlander Rainbow Sensation'

Add a touch of magic to summer borders with Delphinium elatum ‘Highlander Rainbow Sensation'. Bred in Scotland, the Highlander™ series have been selected for their vigour, disease-resistance and hardiness, producing strong plants with sturdy, self-supporting stems that reach around 1 metre, making them more manageable and more suited to windy locations and container-growing than the very tall excelsior hybrids. Their robust habit is paired with exceptionally dainty flowers boasting unusual colour blends. The double blooms of Delphinium ‘Highlander Rainbow Sensation’ are densely packed with fabulously frilly petals that come in an exciting tricolour of soft pink, pale blue and creamy green. Keep deadheading the flower spikes to encourage the production of flowering side shoots and you'll get enough blooms to spare some for vase arrangements. The dried petals can also be used in confetti.The dreamy looks of this unique variety perfectly capture that romantic ‘cottage garden’ feel. Grow them at the back or middle of a border where they will command attention over other perennials during June and July, producing a display that will be the envy of all your neighbours! Height: 100cm (39in).
