Hybrid Bee Delphinium (Delphinium elatum 'Blushing Brides') - Planting
Delphiniums thrive in the cooler climates of the north country, though they will grow as far south as zone 7. Delphiniums can be grown in full sun or partial shade, though full sun may help to prevent powdery mildew. When planting, be sure to set the crown at or above soil level to avoid rot. Since their stems are hollow, taller varieties of Delphiniums should be staked to prevent damage from wind and rain.
