Richly coloured and wonderfully striking, Delphinium ‘Blue Buccaneers’ produces magnificent spires of rich royal blue flowers, each centred with a distinctive black bee. This beautiful selection displays a captivating range of blue tones, from deep, saturated royal blue through to occasional lighter blue blooms, all carrying the same dramatic dark centre.
Growing to a medium height of around 1–1.5 metres, these delphiniums bring a wonderful sense of depth and drama to the garden without overwhelming their companions. Planted amongst softer pastels or deeper jewel tones, they add vertical interest through the perennial border, while their strong flower spikes are equally suited to cutting and arranging.
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 magnificent flush in early January and, within a few weeks, they produce another impressive display of blue flower spires.
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.
