Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This Delphinium thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct light to maintain its sturdy stems and vibrant flower spikes. While it can tolerate some afternoon shade in hotter climates, too much shade often leads to floppy growth and fewer blooms.
Soil: Aim for rich, loamy soil that holds moisture but drains well, as "wet feet" will cause root rot. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost to improve aeration, or plant in raised beds to ensure the roots aren't sitting in stagnant water.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water deeply two to three times a week to help the root system settle into its new home. Once established, Delgenius™ Breezin is remarkably heat tolerant, but you should still provide supplemental water during dry spells to prevent the flower spikes from wilting. Inconsistent watering or allowing the soil to bone dry will result in stunted growth and a shorter blooming window.

Pruning Tips

These perennials bloom on new wood, so you should cut the spent flower spikes down to the foliage after the first flush of blooms in early summer. This "deadheading" signals the plant to put its energy into a second round of flowers rather than seed production. Think of it like a mid-season recharge that keeps the plant looking tidy and productive until autumn.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as new growth emerges to fuel the heavy blooming cycle. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because this can force tender new growth that won't have time to harden off before the first frost. This late season surge makes the plant vulnerable to winter kill and physical stress from the cold.

Breezin' Delgenius™ Delphinium Brings Summer-Long Blues

The Breezin' Delgenius™ Delphinium PP#32994 (Delphinium 'ET DLP 17-11') is a stunning reblooming hybrid with bold, sky-blue flower spikes with a matching 'bee' in the center. These hybrids defy the usual short bloom span of traditional Delphiniums. Breezin' is part of the revolutionary Delgenius™ series, bred for strong stems, extended bloom time, and floriferous, heat-tolerant performance.

It blooms repeatedly from early summer to frost, drawing pollinators and praise alike with its dense, frilly spires. Though it looks delicate, this perennial is anything but fussy. With a compact, upright growth habit, Breezin' tops out around 12-24 inches tall and wide—perfect for tight borders or even large containers.

The deep green, divided leaves create a tidy, mounding base that complements its vertical bloom display. Each flower spike brims with ruffled, semi-double blooms in an ethereal pale blue with hints of white, glowing against green foliage. While it doesn't produce berries or seed pods, its persistent flowering offers a nearly continuous display with regular deadheading.
