Bold, vibrant and impossible to overlook, Delphinium ‘Pink Punch’ is the deepest pink delphinium in the Dowdeswell line up. Bred as part of the celebrated New Millennium breeding programme in New Zealand, it produces striking flower spikes of rich, saturated pink, each bloom centred with a contrasting white bee. Carried on exceptionally strong, relatively short stems, this compact variety brings all the drama of a traditional delphinium without its towering height.
We grew these beautiful perennial delphiniums in our own garden years ago, where they never failed to catch the eye of visitors. Reaching around one metre tall, they are perfectly proportioned for adding a vibrant splash of colour through the middle of the perennial border, where their bold flower spikes create an unforgettable display. They also make excellent cut flowers.
Flowering from November through to the end of April, they reward good cultivation with an exceptionally long season of colour. Remove spent flower spikes as they fade to encourage repeat flowering. At Lambley, we cut our plants back to the ground after the first flush in early January and, within just a few weeks, they produce another magnificent display of richly coloured blooms.
Grow in full sun or light afternoon shade in fertile, well-drained soil with regular summer irrigation. Given good garden conditions, this outstanding perennial will provide years of spectacular displays.
