FAQ about Delphinium – Classic

What kind of soil suits delphiniums best?
Delphiniums thrive in fertile, well-drained, humus-rich soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5. The soil should hold moisture but not be wet. Dig in compost before planting and avoid heavy clay that becomes waterlogged in winter.
How often should delphiniums be watered?
Keep the soil evenly moist, especially in dry spells and while the plant is flowering. Water in the morning directly at the base to keep the leaves dry.
How should delphiniums be pruned for the best flowering?
Cut the flower spikes down to about 15 cm above the ground straight after the first flush. This encourages new shoots that can flower again later in the season. Tall varieties need staking before the spikes grow tall.
Which pests and diseases can affect delphiniums?
Slugs and snails are the biggest threat, especially to the young shoots in spring. Powdery mildew can appear with poor air circulation, and crown rot in wet soil. Protect the young shoots and avoid planting too densely.
How do delphiniums overwinter?
Delphiniums are hardy perennials. Cut down the stems in autumn when they wither and add a layer of mulch around the plant. Divide the plant every three to four years in spring to keep it vigorous.
