Notes
'Guardian White' delphinium (Delphinium elatum 'Guardian White') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the flowers. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The erect stems grow 24 to 47 inches tall, so you may want to stake them.
Pairs well with Peony, Magnus coneflower, and Willow bell.
