50 Seeds Delphinium Magic Fountain Mix – Dwarf Compact Perennial – Blue Pink White Blooms for Borders Pots & Cottage Gardens

These Delphinium Magic Fountain seeds produce a dwarf mixed flowering perennial that reaches just 30–45 cm tall, making it a wonderful choice for borders, pots, and small cottage gardens. In early summer, sturdy spires open with blue, pink, and white blooms, each with a delicate pale bee or contrasting eye at the centre. The compact habit eliminates the need for tall staking, while the sheer volume of colour matches that of taller delphiniums.

Use these plants in flower beds, patio tubs, and cut-flower displays, where their vertical spires add refined structure. As hardy perennials, they settle in for many seasons, and with regular deadheading they will often send up a second round of spires late in the summer. Make sure they receive ample light and free-draining soil to keep them looking their finest.
