Larkspur (Delphinium)

Larkspur (Delphinium) is a large genus of annual and perennial plants which are very much suited to the garden. They come in differing heights. The taller varieties will often need staking. Plant Larkspur in a sunny spot, in fertile soil which has plenty of organic matter. In order to keep Larkspur strong and healthy it is advised to dig them up every few years and split them. Also it is best to re-plant them somewhere else in the garden. After its first flowering, cut Larkspur well back and add some fertilizer. Often you will be treated to a second flowering in late summer. Larkspur look good planted with Day Lily (Hemerocallis), Coneflower (Echinacea) and Yarrow (Achillea). Unfortunately, slugs and snails are also attracted to Larkspur. Early in spring, spread some biological slug pellets around the plants.
