[Syngenta Delphina series](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70060548) ## Growing conditions Choose full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Delphiniums appreciate a sheltered position; avoid strong winds, and keep soil from becoming dry during active growth. The species profile describes spring and summer flowering and recommends support where flower stems need it.

Give it air circulation and avoid crowding. ## Maintenance Remove spent flower spikes after bloom; this can encourage later flowering where the season allows. Cut back dead growth after it has withered. Protect stems from wind if they need support.
