- Delphinium - Grower Simon Langdon says that this is one of the slightly shorter plants in his range of beautiful elatum delphiniums. The florets are very large and closely placed together in a pretty deep lavender blue. The floret centre displays a further group of petals with no obvious eye showing. The plant generally reaches a height of four to four and a half feet but this is obviously determined by the site in which it is planted. Further flowering in the autumn may be encouraged by cutting back after flowering.Position: full sunSoil: fertile, well-drained soilRate of growth: average Flowering period: June and July Flower colour: deep lavender-blueOther features: all parts of the plant may cause severe discomfort if ingested; contact with the sap may cause skin irritation; excellent cut-flowers;Hardiness: fully hardyGarden care: Stake with bamboo canes in mid-spring.
