Delphinium
'Mystique'
Delphinium
- Position: full sun
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: June and July
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Towering spires of double purple flowers with white eyes appear in June and July on tall stems with deeply cut, mid-green leaves. These show-stopper delphiniums look great planted in bold clumps as part of a cottage-garden scheme or towards the back of a well-drained, sunny border where they will add height and bold splashes of colour. They make excellent cut flowers.
- Garden care: Protect young foliage against slug and snail damage in spring. Stake
with bamboo canes in mid-spring, before the flowers appear. During the
growing season, apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks and
wearing gloves cut back the faded flower-stems to a flowering
side-shoot to encourage repeat flowering. At the end of autumn cut back
and compost the faded flower-stems.
