DESCRIPTION
Delphinium elatum 'Guardian Blue' produces tall, elegant spires adorned with rich, deep blue-purple flowers, each accented by a white central bee (nectary). Blooming from early to mid-summer, these densely packed blossoms create a bold vertical element in garden beds and borders. Bred as part of the Guardian series, this cultivar was developed for its strong stems and reliable flowering, making it a standout choice for both ornamental displays and cut flower arrangements.
The vivid blue petals contrast beautifully with the plant’s deeply lobed green foliage, adding depth and movement to the garden. After the initial summer bloom, a second flush of flowers may appear later in the season if spent blooms are promptly removed. The tall, graceful spikes not only add height but also invite pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing the garden’s natural rhythm and color.
