Delphinium Magic Fountain Lavender (Candle Larkspur)

Ideal for small gardens or where space is at a premium, Delphinium 'Magic Fountain Lavender' is a shorter variety of Larkspur with elegant but sturdy flower spikes, densely packed with large, semi-double lavender florets and contrasting white eyes. Blooming for weeks from late spring to late summer, this variety grows only to 30-36 in. tall (75-90 cm) and does not require staking. Rising from a mound of divided, dark green foliage, this Delphinium has a neat compact habit. Hummingbirds are endlessly attracted to the flowers – as are most onlookers! This plant belongs to the 'Magic Fountain' Series which is renowned for its vigor and better tolerance to heat.
