PERENNIALS Delphinium – Dianthus 2006 ▲ DIANTHUS WICKED WITCH ▲ DELPHINIUM PAGAN PURPLES ▲ DELPHINIUM BLUSHING BRIDES
Delphinium (Larkspur) Delphiniums are admired for their elegant, brilliant flower spikes that rise above lobed foliage. They’re very cold hardy, but often languish in hot climates. Plant in rich, moist, well-drained soil. Cut back after flowering for fall rebloom. Tall varieties may require staking. Fertilize regularly and mulch in winter.

They have improved tolerance to heat and humidity and are very cold hardy.
