Add a touch of enchantment to your summer borders with Delphinium elatum 'Highlander Sweet Sensation.' Developed in Scotland, the Highlander series is known for its exceptional vigor, disease resistance, and hardiness, producing robust plants with sturdy, self-supporting stems that grow to about 1 metre in height. This makes them more manageable and ideal for windy spots and container gardening compared to the taller Excelsior hybrids. Their strong structure is complemented by delicate, unusual flower colourations. The double blooms of Delphinium 'Highlander Sweet Sensation' are packed with frilly violet petals tinged with blue, transitioning to creamy tones at the base. Regular deadheading of the flower spikes will encourage the production of side shoots, ensuring an abundant display of blooms—perfect for cutting and arranging in vases. The dried petals can even be used for confetti. This variety's dreamy appearance embodies the romantic charm of a classic cottage garden. Plant them at the back or middle of your border, where their striking presence will stand out from other perennials, creating a captivating display in June and July that will surely draw admiration from your neighbors! Height: 100 cm (39 in), Spread: 45 cm (18 in). Plant size varies seasonally, so the size at delivery may differ, with images provided as an indication only.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Suttons products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days.

Why Not Try This Instead

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
