Delphinium elatum 'Moonlight' - 2026

Delphinium elatum 'Moonlight' is a tall, elegant perennial celebrated for its striking spikes of soft, pale blue to lavender flowers that bloom from mid to late summer. The densely packed flower spikes rise above clumps of deeply divided dark green foliage, providing dramatic vertical interest in borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial plantings. Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, adding both ornamental and ecological value.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil, Delphinium elatum 'Moonlight' benefits from staking to support its tall flower spikes. Cutting back spent stems helps maintain a tidy appearance and can prolong flowering in favourable conditions. Hardy, long-flowering, and relatively low-maintenance, this cultivar provides a striking display of summer colour and architectural structure, making it an excellent choice for dramatic garden borders.
