Cut Flower Delphinium Pink Butterfly Seedling Pack

Delphinium Chinesis

Cut Flower Delphinium Pink Butterfly seedlings, grown in Marlborough by Gray Floral, shipping NZ wide.

Pink Butterfly is more akin to a cloud Larkspur than a true delphinium, with beautiful delicate sprays of palest pink. It is a short lived perennial, and so far it has done two full seasons in my garden, and looks set to do a third!

Gorgeous airy filler, keep an eye out for slugs as they seem to just love anything in the delphinium family. Handles frost, and if planted over winter it will bloom all the way through summer.  Keep an eye out for slugs - they love anything in the Delph/Larkspur family!

Pack of 6 Pink Butterfly Delphinium Plants

Standard NZ shipping included. If you are rural, please select the rural option at checkout to avoid delays in processing your order.

All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots") before planting. 

We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool wrap that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. On arrival, take your plants out of the box and give them a good drink of water - you can leave them wrapped in the wool to do this! When you're ready to plant or pot on you can unwrap the seedlings, but they will happily spend a couple of days in their wool blanket before planting.

This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
