Very suitable as a cut flower

Besides its ornamental value in the garden, Magic Fountains Dark Blue with Dark Bee is also excellent as a cut flower. Its long, sturdy stems and well-filled flower spikes give bouquets an exclusive and powerful look.

Benefits as a cut flower:

• Intense, deep color

• Suitable for luxury and modern arrangements

The dark blue hue with a dark center adds depth and a chic look to floral arrangements. Ideal for stylish summer bouquets, special arrangements, and exclusive floral creations.

For optimal vase performance, it is recommended to cut when the lower flowers have opened and the upper buds are still closed.

Location and care

For optimal growth, plant this Delphinium in a sunny to lightly shaded location in well-drained, nutritious soil.

Care tips:

• Use humus-rich, fertile soil

• Ensure good drainage

• Water regularly during dry periods

Cutting back spent stems can encourage a second flowering, meaning the plant will retain its ornamental value for longer.
