Delphinium 'Pacific Blue Jay' is one of the earlier flowering and most outstanding of the Delphinium. Stunning spires hold buds tightly pack with petals which slowly unfurl into graceful single, dark blue blooms with a black centre. The perfect plant to add colour and structure to your garden, whatever style of planting.
Much loved by our pollinating friends, Delphinium 'Pacific Blue Jay' will create stunning majestic spires as they rise above the mounds of glossy foliage beneath, creating a stunning backdrop for other smaller plants. The stems are excellent as cut flowers for your home and are often used commercially for florists. Delphinium are named from Ancient Greek, meaning dolphin, as the blooms of the wild plants were said to be dolphin shaped, (though new breeding is now producing blooms of a different shape). Delphinium 'Pacific Blue Jay' prefers to be grown in well-drained soil in sun or partial shade, reaching a height of 1.8m and spreading to 45-75cm. A hardy, herbaceous perennial that will die back over winter to sprout again the following spring.
