If you want to add a touch of legend and mysticism to your garden, look no further than our legendary Delphinium Pacific Giants Legend Collection. Containing some of our most powerful varieties named after the legends of the arthurian round table, you can add a touch of magic to summer borders with these striking and stately blooms. 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 these delphiniums 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! Delphinium ‘Pacific Giants’, were developed in the 1950’s and 60’s. Their majestic flower spikes rise above the palmate foliage in June and July, bringing drama and structure to borders. These statuesque plants are easy to grow, enjoying a sheltered, sunny spot. Perfect for group planting at the back of the border where they’ll help to screen a fence or wall as well as padding out the planting scheme with colour interest at a height. While tall, they’re narrow so don’t take up much space, making them suitable for small spaces as well as big borders. The blooms also make fabulous cut flowers for show-stopping bouquets. Height: 150cm (60”). Spread: 75cm (30”).
Delphinium ‘Pacific Giants Legend Collection’ contains the following varieties:
- King Arthur - The stately flowering stems of Delphinium 'King Arthur' are bound to make a big impact on any planting scheme. Growing to an impressive height, the strong, upright stems are each topped with a densely-packed spire of vivid deep blue semi-double flowers for that big colour hit. A frosty white centre in each flower makes an eye-catching detail to admire close up.
- Galahad - Named after Sir Galahad, the Arthurian Knight who drew the sword from the stone, this magnificent delphinium will certainly add chivalry and romance to your garden! Soaring spires of large, semi-double, white blooms rise above mounds of rich green foliage.
- Astolat - Named after the ‘lily maid of Astolat’ who, according to Arthurian legend, died of unrequited love, you are sure to fall head over heels for the dreamy pink spires of this romantic delphinium.
- Blue Bird - makes an impressive feature, adding height and stature to the back of sunny perennial borders. Tall spires of clear blue flowers, each with a contrasting white centre, literally tower above clumps of deeply cut foliage.
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
No cottage garden border is complete without the towering blooms of this hardy perennial! Delphinium ‘Pacific Hybrids’, sometimes referred to as ‘Pacific Giants’, were developed in the 1950’s and 60’s. Their majestic flower spikes rise above the palmate foliage in June and July, bringing drama and structure to borders. Choose a sunny position that is sheltered from strong winds, on moist, well drained soil. Protect young delphiniums from slugs and snails.
