Description

Perennial, floriferous herbaceous plants, always noticeable in a garden. Plants grown in small pots, with only one stem, often give poor results when planted, so we raise them for an additional year, in larger pots, to promote branching, which is conducive to better establishment in the garden.

Superb novelty, rather stout, with double flowers of light purple, speckled with light blue and a white eye.

Note: From March to September, the stems of our delphiniums are pruned short to promote branching of the crown and achieve optimal rooting. This also prevents the stems from breaking during transportation.

Planting and care

Delphiniums are not difficult to grow but dislike heavy and damp or dry and poor soils. The soil that suits them is fertile, rich in humus, non-compact, moist, even in summer, but not excessively wet in winter, and sheltered from strong winds. Under these conditions, they will live for many years. Be careful of slugs and snails that can cause damage at the beginning of growth. Plants grown in small pots, with only one stem, often give poor results when planted, so we raise them for an additional year, in larger pots, to encourage branching, which promotes better establishment in the garden.
