Delphinium ‘Neon Sensation’

Description

Delphinium ‘Neon Sensation’ is surely one of the most beautiful, with its stunning double-layered petals in shades of pale violet, mauve, lilac and lavender, merging into a gorgeous cream-yellow centre. Delphinium ‘Neon Sensation’ is one of the new Highlander™ series of double delphiniums, raised only in the past few years, in Scotland. Stately flower spires appear in mid-summer, over a mound of deeply-cut green leaves. This Delphinium is compact, compared to the old-style perennial Delphinium of yesteryear, at just 80-100cm or so in height.

Delphinium elatum ‘Highlander Neon Sensation®’ makes an excellent cut-flower, and it is also short enough to use in mixed containers. It will make the perfect addition to any summer garden, and can be grown in borders or containers, in full sun or part shade. It is the ideal choice for those looking to create a cottage-style garden. Finally, if you trim back stems once the flowers have faded, this will encourage a repeat blooming later in the autumn!
