DELPHINIUMS
There are around 300 species of annual and perennial delphiniums. They typically bloom in early summer and, with proper care, often rebloom in late summer or early fall. While blue is the most common color, many hybrids offer shades of pink, lavender, red, white, and yellow, with both single and double blooms. We carry both compact and tall varieties and are growing two from seed this season.

GROWING DELPHINIUMS
Plant Delphiniums at the back of the bed in groups, where flower spikes can reach 2 to 6 feet tall.
Grow in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to light shade, with shelter from strong winds.
Soil should not dry out. Water plants during the summer if rainfall is less than 1 inch per week.
Mulch helps retain moisture and keeps roots cool.
Care should include regular fertilization in spring when the plant begins to grow, and during the flowering period.
Deadhead the first blooms in early summer. Remove flower stalks when blooms are spent.
Taller varieties may require staking.
