Plant description
Lovely tall spires packed with soft blush to deep pink flowers appear in late spring and early summer. Forming part of the Pacific Hybrids Series, they have been bred to withstand higher summer temperatures and have larger than average flowers on their stout stems. A classic cottage garden addition, Delphinium Astolat Group is useful for adding height and structural interest to the planting scheme.

How to care for Delphinium Astolat 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.
