Add a touch of magic to summer borders with Delphinium ‘Highlander Sweet Sensation’. Bred in Scotland, the Highlander series has been selected for vigour, disease-resistance, and hardiness. Its strong, self-supporting stems make it easier to manage than taller excelsior hybrids, suitable for borders and container growing. The double blooms are densely packed with frilly violet petals with blue tints, transitioning to creamy shades at the base, creating a romantic cottage garden look.
‘Highlander Sweet Sensation’ flowers from June to July, producing a show-stopping display. Deadhead faded spikes to encourage flowering side-shoots, providing more blooms for cutting. The dried petals can also be used in confetti, adding versatility and charm to this elegant perennial.
