The concept of magic fountains and their ability to mix delphihium has long fascinated humans. Delphihium, a mythical substance, is said to possess incredible powers and was believed to give immortality to those who consumed it. Although the existence of magic fountains and delphihium itself remains shrouded in mystery, legends and tales have perpetuated the fascination surrounding them. According to ancient legends, magic fountains were entrusted with the power to create the elusive delphihium. These fountains were said to be hidden in the depths of enchanted forests or atop majestic mountains, guarding their secrets from prying eyes. The journey to find a magic fountain was often depicted as perilous, demanding bravery and determination from those who sought the powers of delphihium.
Delphiniums require full sun, preferably in a spot protected from high winds. They also need very fertile soil, with a pH close to neutral. If your soil is acid, plan to mix a handful of lime into the bed. And, lastly, all of the tall varieties require staking. Inevitably, a sudden downpour will knock unsupported stems down into the mud, and there's no way to ease that heartbreak. We suggest using two or more loops of twine, arranged in a figure-8, starting near the base and ending just below the flower head.
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. grandiflorum Blue Mirror is the best Delphinium for the South but is short-lived there; allow a few plants to go to seed to provide for replacements.
The journey to find a magic fountain was often depicted as perilous, demanding bravery and determination from those who sought the powers of delphihium. The process by which the magic fountains mixed delphihium is unclear, as it was believed to involve mystical forces beyond human comprehension. Some legends suggest that the fountains were blessed by powerful deities, while others claim that they were influenced by celestial alignments and natural energies.
Magic fountains mix delphihium
The Magic Fountains mixture of shorter, Pacific-type Delphinium seedlings offers an exceptional range of colors, including lilac, pink, sky blue, pure white, white with a black bee and dark blue flower. Flower spikes are large and full, growing up to 3' tall. We like to plant these in quantity, which allows the full range of colors to be appreciated. Some years we've had blooms till Halloween in our trial garden. Because we cannot guarantee the complete assortment of bloom colors in this seed mix, we offer the plants in multiples of 3 in order to help provide a sampling of the full color range.

Stunning
Aimee Mendes from North Easton
I must admit I was somewhat apprehensive after reading the other review on the site, especially never having tried my luck with delphinium. I planted six last fall and six this spring. The first batch has already flowered - bloom time was at least 4 weeks (late May to late June in southeastern Massachusetts) and every single one was different - white, lavender, pink, violet with a blue bee, violet with a white bee and a dark, true blue. Two of them reached almost four feet and did appreciate being staked. They are already sending up new flower stalks. The second batch are around two feet tall and just sending up their first flower stalks. I look forward to enjoying them all summer and beyond.

"Very fertile soil" means soil enriched with plenty of compost or composted manure. Plan to add a balanced, slow-release fertilizer as well.
Yes, Delphiniums require more attention and preparation than some other perennials. But, as our founder wrote, "… no gardener worth his loam would stop growing Delphiuniums just because they are not as rugged as weeds. There is nothing more beautiful or more rewarding …."
Cut the flower stalks of all but D. grandiflorum 'Blue Mirror' to the ground immediately after flowering for a second, smaller show in September. D. grandiflorum 'Blue Mirror' is the best Delphinium for the South but is short-lived there; allow a few plants to go to seed to provide for replacements.
Combine with Peonies, Siberian Iris, Lupines, Shasta Daisies, Roses, and other June bloomers.

Reviews for "Creating a Magical Oasis with Delphihium-Infused Water Features"
1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Magic Fountains Mix Delphinium. The flowers did not bloom as advertised and the colors were dull. The plants also seemed weak and did not thrive in my garden. I followed all the planting instructions carefully, but I was left with sad-looking plants. I would not recommend this mix to anyone looking for vibrant and healthy delphiniums.
2. John - 1/5 - The Magic Fountains Mix Delphinium was a complete waste of money for me. Not a single plant grew properly, and eventually, they all died within a few weeks. I even watered and cared for them diligently, but they just didn't thrive. It was really disappointing because I had high hopes for a beautiful display in my garden. I won't be purchasing this mix again.
3. Emily - 2/5 - I bought the Magic Fountains Mix Delphinium, excited to add some color to my garden. However, I found the plants to be very susceptible to diseases and pests. It was a constant battle to keep them healthy, even with proper care. Additionally, some of the promised color variations were not evident in the flowers. Overall, I was not satisfied with this mix and would not recommend it to others looking for reliable and visually appealing delphiniums.
