About this product
Delphinium (Magic Fountains Group) ‘White’
2 Litre Pot
Plant Highlights: Elegant pure white flower spikes • Compact habit ideal for borders • Excellent cut flower • Brings height and structure to summer planting
Overview
Delphinium (Magic Fountains Group) ‘White’ is a compact herbaceous perennial producing tall, elegant spikes of pure white flowers throughout early to mid-summer. Part of the well-regarded Magic Fountains series, it offers the classic beauty of traditional delphiniums in a more manageable size, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens and mixed perennial borders.
The crisp white blooms provide a striking contrast among colourful summer perennials and roses, while the upright flower spikes add height and structure to planting schemes. They are also highly valued for fresh floral arrangements.

Growing Guide
Position
Grow in full sun for the strongest flowering, with light afternoon shade beneficial in hotter locations. Choose a sheltered site where the flower spikes are protected from strong winds.
Soil
Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid soils that become waterlogged during winter.
Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist during active growth, particularly in dry weather. Apply a mulch in spring to help retain moisture and improve soil structure.
Support and Pruning
Although more compact than many traditional delphiniums, the flower spikes may benefit from staking in exposed gardens. Remove faded flower stems after the first flush to encourage a possible second, lighter display later in the season.
