Delphinium elatum 'Highlander Sensation Collection'Candle Larkspur

Add a touch of enchantment to your summer garden with the Delphinium elatum Highlander Sensation Collection. Developed in Scotland, the Highlander series has been specifically bred for its robust vigour, resistance to disease, and exceptional hardiness. These strong plants feature sturdy, self-supporting stems that grow to about 1 metre, making them more manageable and ideal for exposed areas or container gardening compared to the taller Excelsior hybrids. Their resilience is matched by their exquisite flowers, which boast frilly, double petals and stunning colour combinations that range from bi- to tricolour effects. To extend the blooming season, simply deadhead the spent flowers, encouraging side shoots and ensuring an abundance of blooms that are perfect for cutting. The dried petals also make lovely confetti for special occasions. The graceful appearance of these delphiniums captures the essence of a classic cottage garden, and they make a statement when planted at the back or middle of a border, commanding attention from June to July. Their display will undoubtedly be the envy of your neighbours! The Highlander Sensation Collection includes the following varieties: Delphinium Highlander Sweet Sensation – Delicate violet petals with hints of blue, softening to creamy shades at the base. Delphinium Highlander Rainbow Sensation – A captivating tricolour blend of soft pink, pale blue, and creamy green. Delphinium Highlander Mystery Sensation – Soft pink-lilac blooms with creamy yellow centres. Height: 100cm (39in), Spread: 45cm (18in). Since plant height and spread can vary depending on the season, we list plants by pot size rather than by a fixed size. The plants you receive may differ in height and spread from the images shown, as these are based on seasonal conditions. Vigorous variety with sturdy, compact, self-supporting stems and frilly double flowers in unique bi and tricolours. Choose a sunny position on moist, well drained soil. Protect young delphiniums from slugs and snails.
