Add a magical touch to your summer borders with Delphinium elatum Highlander Purple Surprise. Developed in Scotland, the Highlander series is known for its vigour, disease resistance, and hardiness, resulting in sturdy plants with strong, self-supporting stems that grow to around 1 metre in height. This makes them more manageable and better suited to windy spots and container planting than the taller Excelsior hybrids. Alongside their resilience, these plants boast delicate flowers in striking bicolour combinations that create a captivating visual effect. The double blooms of Delphinium Highlander Purple Surprise are densely packed with frilly petals in a blend of purple and blue hues, accented by creamy green centres. Regular deadheading will encourage the growth of additional flowering side shoots, providing plenty of blooms to enjoy in vase arrangements. The dried petals can also be used in confetti. This variety’s ethereal, romantic appearance perfectly captures the charm of a traditional cottage garden. Plant them in the back or middle of your border, where they will stand tall and create a stunning display from June to July, sure to impress your neighbours. Height: 100cm (39in), Spread: 45cm (18in). Please note that plant height and spread may vary with the season, so the plant you receive may differ from the images shown. Vigorous variety with sturdy, compact, self-supporting stems and frilly double flowers in purple with creamy centres. Choose a sunny position on moist, well drained soil. Protect young delphiniums from slugs and snails.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.
