Delphinium Aurora Deep Purple Flower Plants produce tall, elegant and stately spires of rich purple flowers with contrasting white ‘bees’, creating a dramatic and timeless display in the garden. A classic cottage garden favourite, these impressive blooms are perfect for adding height and colour at the back of borders while also attracting bees and other pollinators.

The Aurora F1 series is recognised as one of the best available, rivalling and even surpassing many cutting-raised varieties. Strong, sturdy plants are naturally free-flowering, producing well-branched spikes filled with large, dreamy semi-double blooms that are equally beautiful in the garden or cut for indoor arrangements.

These hardy perennials are very easy to grow and naturally strong-stemmed, meaning they typically do not require staking. First-year flowering means you can expect a spectacular display in late summer during their first season. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil for the best results.

Young Plants

Grown in individual large plug cells measuring up to 12cm (4.8in) in height, these plants are well-rooted and, where necessary, supplied with the central stem pinched to encourage strong, bushy growth. On arrival, simply pot them into 6 or 7cm pots, or, if you have space, plant directly into baskets and containers. Keep them somewhere warm and bright until established. A full growing guide is included to help you achieve the very best results. Plants will arrive ready for immediate potting on or planting, with heights ranging from 6–12cm from plug base to plant tip.
