This beautiful pure white delphinium is one of the best neutral shades available with exceptionally tall flowering stems all but hidden by the large, semi-double, open florets. The petals grow with a slightly back-curling tendency, keeping their cream-centred purity throughout. 'Jill Curley' would make an ideal vertical accent plant for a white garden or cut-flower scheme.
Stake with bamboo canes in mid-spring. During the growing season apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks and wearing gloves cut back the faded flower stems to a flowering sideshoot. At the end of autumn cut back and compost the faded flower-stems
