Delphinium Strawberry Fair - Larkspur

Plant in spring, after the last frost in a sunny location, in moist, rich, and well-drained soil. Leave a minimum of two or three shoots on young plants and five to seven on already 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 side flower shoots and 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 background of hedges or conifers. Intermediate-sized ones will dress up tall flower beds, such as those with giant dahlias. Look after vegetation with regular watering. Watch out for slugs and snails.
