This time very disappointed, young plants, barely sprouted. There comes a time when the site should note certain plants as unavailable if their condition is too deplorable. I have serious doubts about their survival next winter.

Description

Delphinium or Larkspur. This Delphinium is excellent for romantic gardens filled with old roses.

Main flowering in June, continuing if the stems are cut back as they fade.

Delphiniums are decorative with their cup-shaped, single or double flowers, gathered in long spikes.

Most have fibrous or fleshy roots, sometimes tuberous.

Note: From March to September, the stems of our delphiniums are pruned short to allow for better branching of the crown and to achieve optimal rooting. This also prevents the stems from breaking during transport.

Planting and care

Plant Delphiniums in spring after the last frost, in a sunny location, in moist, rich, and well-drained soil. Leave at least two or three shoots on young plants and five to seven on well-established delphiniums. During growth, water once or twice a week and apply liquid fertilizer every two or three weeks. Remove faded flowers by cutting the spikes at the level of the small lateral flowering shoots. Cut back the entire plant to ground level in autumn. Tip: Embrace height with these giant plants that structure and balance the garden. The tallest ones will add volume and lightness against a dark backdrop of hedges or conifers. Those of intermediate size will dress up tall flower beds, such as those with giant dahlias. look after the vegetation through regular watering. Watch out for slugs and snails.
