Reminiscent of a romantic watercolor, Delphinium Guardian Lavender is painted in pale blue and lavender blossoms, each adorned with a white center “bee”. Each flower blossom is fully double! Together they completely cover each spire which reaches up to 39 inches tall as a perfect mid-size addition to the center of a garden. Plants form a low mound of deeply cut green leaves that bear a neat, compact habit. By planting a few plants together, you will have plenty to enjoy on your early summer walks out to the garden, as well as in vases inside your home.
