3 x White Delphinium

Advice

For a magnificent display, plant your Delphinium in groups, ensuring they receive full sun. Pair with contrasting plants like dark Dahlias to create a vivid beauty. Planting them near fences or garden stakes can support their towering growth.

Fun facts

The Delphinium was named ambiguously, drawing inspiration from the ancient Greek word 'delphin', due to its buds’ resemblance to a dolphin's nose. While admired for its beauty, it's also notoriously difficult to cultivate; gardeners often joke that it requires a ‘green thumb’ and ‘blue blood’ to grow with the poise it deserves! For centuries, it's been cherished as a symbol of lightheartedness and joy in flower language, evoking cheerful spirits and nostalgic summer memories.

Signs of weakness

Look out for droopy leaves or yellowing foliage, a sign of either overwatering or undernutrition. Be on watch for browning edges which may indicate scorching or needing more shade during peak afternoon sun.
