Delphinium 'Magic Fountains White Swan' is a graceful and compact perennial that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to garden borders and cottage gardens. As part of the Magic Fountains series, this cultivar is known for its tall, sturdy spires of pristine white flowers, which rise above lush, deeply lobed green foliage. The blooms typically appear in early to mid-summer, creating a striking vertical accent in the garden. The flower spikes are densely packed with semi-double flowers, each with a contrasting central "bee," adding a subtle yet captivating detail to the plant’s overall appearance.
'Magic Fountains White Swan' typically grows to a height of 75-90 cm (30-36 inches), making it a more compact choice compared to traditional delphiniums, which can grow much taller. This size makes it ideal for smaller gardens or for use in the middle of a border. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soils and prefers a position in full sun to partial shade. 'Magic Fountains White Swan' is hardy in the UK to RHS hardiness rating H6, which means it can withstand the coldest British winters, down to around -20°C (-4°F). Regular watering, particularly during dry spells, and staking to support the flower spikes may be necessary. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage a second flush of flowers later in the season. 'Magic Fountains White Swan' is not only admired for its beauty but also for its ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to any wildlife-friendly garden.
