Add a dash of enchantment to your summer borders with Delphinium elatum Highlander Purple Surprise. Developed in Scotland, the Highlander series is prized for its vigour, disease resistance, and hardiness, producing robust plants with strong, self-supporting stems that grow to about 1 metre. This makes them easier to manage and perfect for windy spots and container planting, unlike the taller Excelsior hybrids. Their sturdy growth is paired with delicate flowers in striking bicolour combinations, creating a visual delight. The double blooms of Delphinium Highlander Purple Surprise are densely packed with frilly petals in a beautiful blend of purple and blue tints, accented with creamy green centres. Deadheading the flower spikes encourages the growth of side shoots, ensuring a steady supply of blooms perfect for cutting. The dried petals also make charming confetti. With its dreamy, romantic appearance, this variety embodies the spirit of a classic cottage garden. Plant them at the back or middle of your border, where they will stand tall and make a bold statement from June to July, creating a display sure to captivate your neighbours. Height: 100cm (39in), Spread: 45cm (18in). Please note that the plant size may vary with the season, so the height and spread of the plant you receive may differ from the images shown.

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.”
