I'm smitten with these Highlander Moonlight delphiniums! Bred in Scotland, the double flowers create a fluffy appearance, and the pale lavender edges melding into pale green centers are just stunning. It's so different from most delphinium flowers. Charming and perfect for a cottage garden.#thecoeurdalenecoop #highlanderdelphinium #cottagegardening #cottagegardencharm #cottagegardenflowers ... See MoreSee Less
