Growing at a glance…
Do not allow the ground to dry out in the summer and water regularly during the flowering period to help prolong their blooms. Delphiniums are able to tolerate most types of garden soil. Plant in prepared (well-drained) soil, in full sun or partial shade. Dig a hole that’s big enough to house the module. Fill around the modules with soil and firm them down gently. Water well once planted.
