| I was at a greenhouse in WI recently and saw the most beautiful sky-blue delphinium with a black bee. I have not been able to find it anywhere, they all either have a tinge of lavender, or they have a white bee. Does anybody know the name of that particular variety so I can tailor my search? Should have gotten it but thought I'd be able to find it again! Lesson learned!!! |

| As far as I'm aware there are no vegetatively propagated delphiniums in US (corect me if I'm wrong), so it can only be a seedling plant of some seed strain, and there have been plenty of them in recent years. If you were from UK, you could choose among tens of varieties that fit the description. You can check some seed catalogues like Jelitto or others, they list tens of seed strains in all possible colours and color combinations(see Moonlight Blues). |

| Hi Blan, I did a little bit of google research ('delphinium blue with black bee') and found that there is a blue Delphinium with a black bee in the Excalibur Mix. Also, Bluestone Perennials has a Delphinium cultorum 'Dark Blue Dark Bee' I noticed a few postings for Delphinium 'Black Knight' that also appears to fit the bill. Best of luck, |
