Delgenius Neva Delphinium

Delgenius Neva Delphinium (Delphinium Delgenius 'Neva')

Delgenius Neva Delphinium produces elegant pure white spires on sturdy, well-branched plants from early summer with potential for a late-season repeat. Compact, upright clumps offer reliable vertical interest for sunny borders and cutting gardens.

Distinctive Features

Clean white florets on strong stems resist flopping better than many delphiniums, with refined foliage that frames densely packed spikes. Bred for improved garden performance and rebloom with prompt deadheading.

Growing Conditions

• Sun Exposure: Full sun in cool to moderate summers; provide afternoon shade where summers are hot.
• Soil: Fertile, well drained, humus-rich soil with consistent moisture.
• Water: Keep evenly moist during active growth; do not allow soil to dry out.
• USDA Hardiness Zones: 3 to 7.
• Mature Size: 1.5 to 2.5 ft tall and 1.5 to 2 ft wide.

Ideal Uses

• Cottage Gardens: Classic delphinium form with improved habit.
• Back of Bed: Adds height without overwhelming smaller companions.

Low Maintenance Care

• Watering: Water deeply 1 to 2 times weekly in dry spells to maintain even moisture.
• Pruning: Deadhead spent spikes; cut back after first flush to encourage rebloom.
• Fertilizing: Feed in spring and again after first bloom with a balanced fertilizer.
• Mulching: Apply 2 to 3 inches of organic mulch to conserve moisture and cool roots.
• Notes: Stake in windy sites and protect young shoots from slugs; provide afternoon shade in hot-summer regions to reduce stress.
