Flower Dictionary:
Delphiniums
Delphiniums received their name from the ancient Greeks who thought the shape of the flower bud with its spur, resembled that of a dolphin. In England in Tudor times some of the species grown were referred to as "larkspur" apparently because the nectary (contained in the base of the top or nectar sepal) looked somewhat akin to a lark’s claw. Many species certainly share a liking for the same habitat.
The modern delphinium is the result of hybridization of delphinium species from many widely varied parts of the world. Unknown enthusiasts crossed many species including, probably, D. elatum from the Swiss Alps, D. cheilanthum (dark blue, yellow bee) from Siberia, D. bruninianum from the Himalayas (purple, hooded) and D formosum from Armenia. From these crosses and probably many others the modern delphinium elatum type (resembling the original D.elatum in growth habit, form and foliage) has evolved.
From the middle of the 19th century, Kelway, Lemoine and others set about serious breeding greatly improving the number and quality of varieties available.
Delphiniums are tall and showy flowers ; these spiked flowers originated in Europe and are found naturally in forest clearings. They are an old-fashioned favorite. Gorgeous spikes come in jewel-like shades of blue, lavender and diamond-bright white, some with darker center spots.
With many vanities in this family, Delphinium range in size from about one foot to several feet.
Caution: All parts of Delphinium are poisonous and could be fatal. If you have children or pets, you might want to steer clear of this flower.
Propagation:
Delphinium are started from seed. If you wish to plant Delphiniums, directly seed Delphinium into your flower garden after all danger of frost. They can also be spread around fields as a wildflower.
Sow seeds early in the season and cover lightly with 1/8" of garden soil. Space them 4 inches apart and thin seedlings to 1 1/2 feet apart.
Delphiniums are Rhizomes. You can separate the rhizomes of established plants and replant in new areas.
How to Grow:
Delphinium like full sun to partial shade. They are very easy to grow and grow rapidly. They do well in average soils and in cool weather. The soil needs to be kept moist to feed their quick growth. Water them during dry periods, once or twice per week. Add a general purpose fertilizer once a month until after they have bloomed. Gardeners throughout the world love delphiniums but relatively few realise how easy it is to grow them, or what a wonderful range of form and colour is available.
Cut bloom is just before they peak. Place in vase and arrange with other flowers, or alone by themselves.
Once your Delphinium are established, they will grow well until the first frost. Delphinium are annuals and highly susceptible to frost.
Insect and Disease:
Fungal disease is common, most notably Sclerotium rot which yellows leaves and wilts plant. Delphinium is also affected by mildew. Treat affected plants immediately with a general purpose fungicide. Remove seriously diseased plants to keep the disease from spreading.
Insect problems are less frequent. Organic or chemical insect repellents are effective against most pests.
