Delphinium Guardian White (Candle Larkspur)

Prized by florists, Delphinium 'Guardian White' is a mid-sized herbaceous perennial with sturdy flower spikes, densely packed with double, glistening white flowers. Blooming for weeks from early to mid-summer, it adds height and majesty to the garden and draws attention from quite a distance. Rising from a mound of divided, rich green foliage, this Delphinium has a neat compact habit. This vigorous hybrid belongs to the Guardian Series, which were bred for their uniform flowers and early blooming habit. Exceptional cut flower.
