Delphinium :: Care Plant Profile and Growing Hints

Delphiniums are an erect perennial growing from 20cm to 2m depending on species. The delphiniums grown most widely found for sale for the home garden are the taller growing varieties, these delphiniums require full sun with some shade from the hot afternoon sun, a moist humus rich soil and delphiniums may require staking. Flower colors are whites and blue, through to pink and deep pinks.

Delphiniums like a moist humus rich soil and as with all soil preparation this is best done a few weeks before planting. Weed the area well and dig in some well rotted compost and cow manure, add a handful of blood and bone and dig over again. Leave for a few weeks and then you are ready to plant.

Usually grown from seedlings or seeds, and are best planted out in early autumn, seeds can be sown in a cold frame to get a head start. Established plants can be divided as clumps expand, this is best done in late winter to early spring. Check the variety as some are taller growing than others and may be best planted further back in the border.

Fertilize with with a liquid seaweed fertilise as well a 'worm castings tea' every two weeks. Plants can be cut back after flowering to encourage a second flush, although some growers think that this decreases flower vigor the next year. Taller growing cultivars may require plant supports. The main pests are snails and slugs especially with the small seedlings.

Delphiniums do not like wet soil, they do not like hot soil, and do not like snails and slugs, so a well drained soil will help prevent rot over winter, mulch will keep the roots cool and sawdust will help keep the snails and slugs away.


Delphinium Plants and Seeds can be found for sale online from participating nurseries.
