Delphinium 'Magic Fountain Dark Blue Black Bee' is a striking cultivar of the classic garden favorite, known for its towering spikes of deep, dark blue flowers, each centered with a contrasting "black bee" or eye. This variety is part of the 'Magic Fountain' series, which is bred for its more compact habit and resistance to flopping over, a common issue with taller delphiniums. The plant's stately flower spikes make it an excellent choice for adding vertical interest to borders, cottage gardens, and cut flower arrangements. Delphiniums are beloved for their showy blooms and the 'Magic Fountain Dark Blue Black Bee' is no exception, offering a dramatic palette of colors for the summer garden.
