The Delphinium Dark Blue & White Bee is for gardeners seeking a striking, tall perennial to add vertical interest and a unique color palette to their borders. Its key benefit is the dramatic visual impact of intense dark blue flowers with a distinctive white 'bee' marking, blooming for an extended period. A caveat is its need for protection from slugs and snails when young, and a sheltered position from strong winds.
