SPECIAL QUALITIES

Delphiniums are the equivalent of a flowering exclamation mark in the garden. This form is shorter and sturdier than older types but still makes a great statement with its tall flower spikes.

FLOWERS

Large flowers form on Jong stems from the ground to the tip and appear in late spring and summer.

POSITION & USES

Plant in a sunny position. Soil needs to be kept moist so mulching and summer watering are necessary.

CULTIVATION

Stake to support flowers in windy spots. Cut to the ground over winter.

FERTILISING

Regular applications of Seasol and Power Feed in spring and autumn will keep it looking its best.
