Plant description
Powder blue flowers, each with a white eye, are evenly spaced along the stout flower spikes, creating towering columns of colour. The elegant, upright shape of Delphinium 'Summer Skies Group' is useful for creating vertical interest in mixed planting schemes where they associate particularly well with echinaceas, iris, paeonies and eryngiums.

How to care for Delphinium Summer Skies Group:
For best results, plant in an open spot with fertile, freely-draining soil and protect the young foliage against slug and snail damage.
During the growing season, apply a seaweed or balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks. While wearing gloves, stake the emerging flower spike with a stout bamboo cane and tie it in as it grows.
Cutting back the faded flower stems to a flowering side shoot will help encourage a second flush of flowers.

Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
