Delphinium Black Knight

Description

Delphinium Black Knight is a stunning herbaceous perennial plant which dies down every autumn. In the spring it shoots into life providing spikes of deep purple blue flowers with a dark centre. Protect the young shoots from slugs and snails in the spring and they usually benefit from staking. Regular dead-heading is beneficial.

All delphiniums make excellent cut flowers but take care, they are poisonous to most animals including humans.
