Delphiniums prefer consistent moisture but dislike waterlogged roots. Provide full sun in cooler climates and afternoon shade where summers are hot. Tall flower spikes may benefit from staking, particularly in windy locations. Remove spent blooms to encourage additional flowering, and maintain good air circulation to reduce disease pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn warmer growing zones, mulch around the root zone to help keep the soil cool during summer. Avoid burying the crown too deeply, as this can encourage rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're dreaming of a cutting garden filled with spectacular blue flowers, 'Blue Buccaneers' delivers the height, color, and romantic garden style that make New Millennium delphiniums so special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution:\u003c\/strong\u003e All parts of delphinium are toxic if ingested.
