Delphinium grandiflorum 'Magic Fountains White with Black Bee'

Part of the compact Magic Fountains series, this variety combines abundant blooms with sturdy stems and a manageable height. Ideal for those seeking the classic charm of Delphiniums with a contemporary twist.

Unique color contrast and ornamental value

The great appeal of 'White with Black Bee' lies in its striking color palette. The bright white adds freshness and light to the border, while the dark center adds depth and character.

Key Features:

• Pure white petals

• Dark black contrasting heart ("black bee")

• Compact, sturdy flower spikes

• Height approximately 70–90 cm

• Rich summer blooms

The flowers are densely packed in vertical spikes, creating structure in the planting. Because of its compact growth, this Delphinium is less susceptible to wind than traditional tall larkspurs.

Perfect for borders and modern gardens

Thanks to the strong colour contrasts, this Delphinium fits perfectly in:

• Modern white and black accent gardens

• Sleek, minimalist borders

• Cottage gardens with contrasting plantings

• Mixed perennial borders

• Cut flower gardens

Combined with purple salvia, lavender, ornamental grasses, or dark-leaved plants, it creates a particularly powerful and stylish effect. This variety also adds depth to the color palette alongside roses or blue delphiniums.

Excellent as a cut flower

Besides its value in the garden, Magic Fountains White with Black Bee is also excellent as a cut flower. Its sturdy, straight stems and well-filled flower spikes make it ideal for luxurious bouquets and arrangements.

Benefits as a cut flower:

• Long, sturdy stems

• Good vase life

• Strong visual contrast

• Suitable for modern and classical arrangements

The combination of white and black gives bouquets a contemporary look. It's particularly suitable for bridal arrangements with a modern edge, stylish summer bouquets, and exclusive floral creations.

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

Location and care

Delphinium grandiflorum 'Magic Fountains White with Black Bee' grows best in a sunny to slightly semi-shaded location. A nutrient-rich, well-drained soil is essential for healthy growth and abundant flowering.

Care tips:

• Plant in humus-rich, fertile soil

• Ensure good drainage

• Water regularly during dry periods

• Remove spent ears for reblooming

• Light support in windy conditions if necessary

Cutting back faded flower stems can encourage a second flowering, which extends the flowering period.
