Delphinium 'Magic Fountains Dark Blue/Black Bee' - 2026

Delphinium 'Magic Fountains Dark Blue/Black Bee' is a tall, hardy perennial admired for its dramatic spikes of deep blue flowers with contrasting black “bee” centres that bloom from mid to late summer. The upright, densely packed flower spikes rise above clumps of finely divided dark green foliage, providing striking 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 'Magic Fountains Dark Blue/Black Bee' benefits from staking to support its tall flower spikes. Cutting back spent stems maintains a tidy appearance and can encourage prolonged flowering in favourable conditions. Hardy, long-flowering, and relatively low-maintenance, this cultivar offers a bold display of summer colour and vertical structure, making it an excellent choice for dramatic garden borders.
