Delphinium 'Highlander Cha Cha'
- Stunning doesn't do this delphinium justice! Violet-tinged white flowers rise vertically in tasteful racemes, adding a touch of class wherever they're planted
- Part of the Highlander delphinium series first bred in Glasgow by Tony Coakley, this delphinium is as robust as it is beautiful, and is able to withstand even severe British winters
- Relatively compact relative to certain other delphiniums - reaching around 90cm in height - this variety is suitable for smaller beds and borders, as well as containers
- 'Highlander Cha Cha' can serve either as a backdrop plant for shorter border planting schemes, or as a plant for the middle of the border, perhaps with other, taller delphinium varieties growing behind it
- Blooming throughout summer, this delphinium will help attract beneficial pollinators to your garden
