    DELPHINIUM DELPHINIUM DELPHINIUM

    DELPHINIUM

    All flower MAY-JUN

    Another old cottage-garden favourite. To get the best display requires some fussing over. Greedy feeders and loved by slugs. Taller varieties need staking. Results can be spectacular.

    Genus of about 320 species of annuals, biennials and perennials found mainly in mountainous areas worldwide, except Australia.

    Main delphinium, or larkspur, cultivars are classed into Belladonna, Elatum or Pacific Hybrid groups

    • Good to know
      Provide canes when the plants reach 30cm (12in) high. Thinning shoots when 7cm (3in) high ensures good-quality spikes. Deadhead to small, flowering sideshoots.
    • Place of origin
      Mountainous areas worldwide with the exception of Australia.
    • Herbaceous
      Early in the year, typically January till end of March, herbaceous plants might be supplied in 9cm pots to ensure timely despatch.
