Delphinium Centurion Sky Blue is a striking choice for gardens and floral arrangements, boasting tall, elegant stems adorned with soft azure blue blooms and delicate white centres. These statuesque perennials can reach heights of 150 cm, adding drama and vertical interest to borders and flower beds.
An RHS Award of Garden Merit recipient, their pastel blue petals and central white “bee” create a dreamy colour palette perfect for romantic garden schemes. While the blooms are not strongly scented, their visual appeal more than compensates, making them a favourite for cutting and arranging.
Delphinium Centurion thrives in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Water it regularly, but avoid waterlogging, and protect young plants from slugs. Position them in sunny borders or cottage-style gardens for a timeless look. For a particularly harmonious display, pair with white flower seeds, pink flowering bulbs,perennials like lavender, or Foxglove plants; their complementary colours are enough to light up any garden space.
To use Delphiniums as cut flowers, snip their stems early in the morning, remove their lower leaves, and place them in fresh water to enjoy their beauty indoors.
