Magic Fountains Cherry Blossom White Bee Delphinium is a beautiful perennial known for its early summer blooms. Its plants form low mounds of deeply-cut green leaves, with tall spikes of satiny flowers. This mid-sized plant is covered in soft petals in shades of pink with a white center, also known as the “bee”.
