Delphina™ Light Blue White Bee Delphinium

Delphina™ Light Blue White Bee is a compact Delphinium elatum selection with light blue flowers and a white bee marking. Syngenta identifies the exact 70060548 selection as upright, full-sun, and flowering in spring and summer. ## Profile The breeder’s North American listing gives a garden height of 14–18 inches and width of 6–10 inches. Its listed hardiness is 4a–8b. Syngenta’s European page reports different garden-size and hardiness figures, so use the regional information appropriate to your climate rather than treating the ranges as interchangeable. [Syngenta Light Blue White Bee](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70060548) ## Growing conditions Plant in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Delphiniums perform best in a sheltered place; protect their flowering stems from strong wind and heavy rain. Water during dry spells, especially as the plant establishes, while maintaining good drainage.

Group it with other spring and summer perennials while allowing enough space for air movement. ## Maintenance Support stems if they lean in an exposed site. Remove faded flower spikes after the first bloom; this may encourage another flush later in the season. Cut back growth after it has withered.
