Delphiniums are the stars of the early summer border. Plants form a low mound of deeply cut green leaves, bearing tall spikes of satiny flowers. This mid-sized selection has deep-blue petals and strong stems that are great for cutting. Removing faded spikes at the base will encourage repeat blooming in fall. In hot, humid summer regions, plants do not usually last more than 2 to 3 years. Plants are often attacked by mildew in mid-summer; simply cut back hard to encourage fresh foliage. Use a high-phosphorus fertilizer each year, in early spring. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten.
