Delphinium (Delphinium Elatum Magic Fountains White Dark Bee) - Unlike the Pure White Larkspur, this Delphinium also has white flower; however, it has striking dark bees. Magic Fountains White Dark Bee delphinium is an ideal plant for smaller gardens and containers, especially in windy areas where tall delphiniums will struggle or need staked. Plants grow appoximately 36 inches tall, do not require staking, and provide plenty of cut flowers.
Delphinium grow best in full sun; however, in hotter zones they may be planted in bright shade areas that still receive some direct sunlight during the day. They thrive in rich, deeply worked soil that drains well. Prefers cool, moist summer nights. Space plants approximately 24 inches apart for optimum performance. Grows well in zones 3 - 7, but in hotter zones you may need to treat as hardy annual. Delphinium care includes applying a balanced liquid fertilizer every month as the plants are heavy feeders.
To get a jump start on the growing season, sow Delphinium seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before last frost. Use sterile starter mix in trays and cover flower seeds 1/8 - 1/4 inches.
Common Questions
Do Delphinium come back every year?
Numerous species and varieties of delphiniums bred for home gardens are short-lived perennials that can reappear for around five years. On the other hand, annual species include native larkspur, which are typically shorter in height, feature smaller flowers, and have fern-like foliage.
Where should I plant delphiniums?
It is advisable to place delphiniums in a location that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight daily, with shaded afternoons and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Ensure proper air circulation by planting them at a sufficient distance from each other.
What is the difference between larkspur and Delphinium?
Larkspur is a frequently used name for delphiniums, although it can also denote plants in another genus. Typically, larkspurs are annuals, whereas delphiniums are perennials. You can distinguish between the two plants by noting variations in foliage and flower size, with delphiniums having larger flowers.
Can I grow delphinium in a container?
Smaller varieties can work in containers but the larger plants will not bloom in containers.
How can I use delphinium in my garden?
Perfect for the back of the border, for a cottage garden, as a hedge, against the house, and for cutting.
Will I get a second bloom on my delphinium?
If your first bloom was early and you cut the flower stalk back after blooming, you may get a second bloom.
How late in the fall can I plant my delphinium?
Plant with at least six weeks before the ground freezes for the best root growth.

Delphinium (Delphinium Cultorum Astolat) - Start Delphinium seeds and grow this tall and stately flower in the sunny border. Astolat is from the Pacific Giant Hybrids, and it has blooms of pink shades with a contrasting black center often called a "bee". The flowering spikes are dramatic accents in perennial borders with a height of nearly 70 inches. Grow this impressive flower from flower seed and create a striking background in the summer flower garden! Hummingbirds and butterflies will not leave these flowers alone. Delphiniums make great cut flowers as well.
Delphiniums are perennial in cool summer climates, but grown as annuals or biennials, especially where summers are hot. Sow the flower seeds in early spring when frost season is completely over. Seedlings started in spring may not bloom until the next spring. For large flower spikes, give rich, well-drained soil and regular feeding. Stake tall plants and protect from strong winds.
To get a jump start on the growing season, sow Delphinium seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before last frost. Use sterile starter mix in trays and cover flower seeds 1/8 - 1/4 inches.

Delphinium (Delphinium Cultorum Black Knight) - Black Knight is a large perennial from the Pacific Giant Hybrids. It may require staking while flowering especially in windy areas as this plant can grow up to 6 feet tall. It has tall spikes of flowers in a gorgeous shade of dark violet-blue with a black bee in the center. Sow Delphinium seeds to produce this gorgeous addition to the perennial flower garden. Hummingbirds and bees will visit often!
Grow the plants in full sun and in compost rich well drained soil. Delphinium care includes applying a balanced liquid fertilizer every month as the plants are heavy feeders. Plants should be replaced every 3 to 4 years as they will become woody and begin to decline with age. Cut plants back after initial flowering for a possible second showing in fall. The flowers are excellent for cutting. This flower seed produces Delphiniums that will grow at elevations up to 10,000 feet which is very rare.
To get a jump start on the growing season, sow Pacific Giants Delphinium seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before last frost. Use sterile starter mix in trays and cover flower seeds 1/8 - 1/4 inches.

Delphinium (Delphinium Cultorum Blue Bird) - Easy-to-grow from Delphinium seed, Blue Bird is a Pacific Giant Hybrid grown as a perennial in some areas and as an annual in other areas. Its mid-blue flowers have white centers. The flowers are large but short-lived and bloom on tall stems that grow up to 6 feet in height.

Grow Blue Bird in full sun and in fertile, well drained soil. Space new container grown plants 30 inches apart. Delphinium Cultorum care includes applying a balanced liquid fertilizer every month as the plants are heavy feeders. Also, because of this plant's potential height and hollow stems, plant in an area that is sheltered from high winds, or stake the plant to avoid them falling over or breaking.
To get a jump start on the growing season, sow Delphinium flower seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before last frost. Use sterile starter mix in trays and cover flower seeds 1/8 - 1/4 inches.

Delphinium (Delphinium Cultorum King Arthur) - Make a statement in the flower garden with a mass planting of these tall flowers grown from Pacific Giants Delphinium seeds. They will be the stars of the early summer perennial garden. King Arthur bears rich, deep royal-violet petals marked with a white "bee" at the center of each flower. The Pacific Giant Hybrids are the tallest and showiest of all Delphiniums, with spikes that can reach heights of 6 feet. They are a short-lived plant, and usually grown as an annual or a biennial, but will grow as a perennial in certain climates. These flowers are in a distinct class noted for their tall, stately appearance and true blue colored flowers, a hue that is relatively rare in the perennial world.
If the main flower stalk is removed just after flowering, the plant will likely produce secondary blooms in late summer or early fall. Delphinium Cultorum care includes applying a balanced liquid fertilizer every month as the plants are heavy feeders. Also, because of this plant's potential height and hollow stems, plant in an area that is sheltered from high winds, or stake the plant to avoid them falling over or breaking.
To get a jump start on the growing season, sow Delphinium flower seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before last frost. Use sterile starter mix in trays and cover flower seeds 1/8 - 1/4 inches.

Delphinium (Delphinium Elatum Magic Fountains Cherry Blossoms White Bee) - Delphiniums are the stars of the early summer border. Plants form low mounds of deeply-cut green leaves with upright spikes of satiny flowers. This shorter variety only reaches up to 36 inches and should not require staking. It features lovely cherry blossoms with a white eye, or "bee". 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.
Delphinium grow best in full sun; however, in hotter zones they may be planted in bright shade areas that still receive some direct sunlight during the day. They thrive in rich, deeply worked soil that drains well. Prefers cool, moist summer nights. Space plants approximately 24 inches apart for optimum performance.
