Growing Guide
Position
Grow in full sun for the best flowering. In exposed gardens, choose a sheltered location to help protect the flower spikes from strong winds.
Soil
Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid sites where water stands during winter.
Watering
Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, particularly during dry weather. Applying a spring mulch will help conserve moisture and improve soil structure.
Support and Pruning
Although more compact than many traditional delphiniums, flower spikes may benefit from discreet staking in windy locations. Remove spent flower stems after the first flush to encourage a possible second, lighter display later in the season.
