An elegant twist on a classic favourite.
Delphinium x ruysii 'Pink Sensation' brings a refreshing pop of soft pink to the traditional delphinium palette. This compact, upright perennial is prized for its tall spires of densely packed, blush-pink flowers with delicate white or pale centres, blooming reliably in early to mid-summer.
Unlike some taller delphiniums, 'Pink Sensation' boasts improved wind resistance and a more manageable height (usually around 90–120cm), making it ideal for smaller gardens, borders, or cottage-style planting schemes. The finely divided, deep green foliage provides a lovely backdrop and remains attractive throughout the season.
Key Features:
- Soft pink flower spikes loved by pollinators
- Compact, sturdy growth – no staking needed in sheltered spots
- Long flowering period with potential for a second flush if deadheaded
- Hardy and low-maintenance with good disease resistance
Growing Tips:
Prefers a sunny position with rich, well-drained soil. Keep watered during dry spells and cut back spent flower stems to encourage reblooming. Mulch annually to feed and protect the crown in winter.
