How to Care for the Plant

Water
Delphiniums require regular watering, specifically during the dry summer months. Soil should stay just barely moist and never dry out, nor become soggy. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. Apply a thin layer of compost in the spring as well as a 2 in.
Pruning
Delphiniums require considerable maintenance (staking, pruning, deadheading, disease control) in order to perform well in the garden. Although delphiniums have a relatively short flowering season, cutting the flower spikes back as soon as they have faded can encourage plants to produce a few flowers in late August or September.
Sunlight
