Delphinium elatum with white flowers looks like a tall lantern made of petals, lifting pure light into the air. Its spires rise in clean vertical lines, each one crowded with snowy blossoms that seem almost translucent in bright sun. The petals open in tidy layers, forming star-shaped blooms with a soft cream or pale butter eye at the center, just enough color to keep the tower from feeling stark. The deep green, finely cut foliage sits below like a carved pedestal, sharpening the contrast so the spikes appear even brighter. In a border, these white forms add height and calm, catching dusk light the way a white cliff catches the last flame of day.
