Details
Enjoy the majestic beauty of classic larkspurs without the need for heavy staking with Delphinium 'Magic Fountains Cherry Blossom'. Because this is a specially bred dwarf variety, it stays compact and sturdy, making it a brilliant choice for exposed gardens or the middle of a border. In early to mid-summer, it produces densely packed spikes of gorgeous, soft cherry-pink flowers with bright white centres (known as 'bees'), adding a magical, romantic feel to cottage garden displays.

Bedwen Plants Care Tip: Delphiniums are hungry plants, so dig in plenty of organic matter when planting and feed regularly during the growing season. Protect young shoots from slugs and snails in the spring. To encourage a smaller second flush of blooms in late summer, cut the main flower spikes right back to the ground as soon as they have faded.

Plant Care
What are you buying?
4L, 2L & 1L refer to pot volume in litres. 9cm, 7cm & 5cm refer to pot diameter. These are common terms used in plant retail to indicate the size of a plant root system. Leaf & stem growth on plants varies widely by variety and time of year. Usually, 1L/2L/4L plants can be anywhere between 20-60cm tall & 5/7/9cm plants will be around 10-30cm tall. However, this may be less if the plant is naturally low growing or if it is a herbaceous plant in winter.
Plug plants are small plants grown from seeds or cuttings in cell trays. Their root systems start from about 1cm and the largest plug plants, described as extra-large or jumbo, are usually around 4cm. Plug plants can be great value to buy but they will need some extra care to get them started. We recommend planting each plug plant into its own 7 or 9cm pot (about the size of a standard mug), NOT directly into open ground or large pots. Ensure the pot has plenty of holes underneath and preferably over two tiers for even better drainage.
