In the garden

Delphinium tatsienense sits within the genus Delphinium and the family Ranunculaceae and carries the common name larkspur. Its recorded flowering period in the UK is June to August, so it contributes to summer blossom displays. Because plants in this genus show a range of forms, provenance and habit should be confirmed on the label supplied at purchase. Specific planting and care requirements differ between Delphinium species; follow the supplier’s recommendations for aspect, soil type and hardiness rather than assuming a single routine. As with most nursery stock, plant at the same depth as in the container, firm the soil, water in well and monitor moisture during establishment. Check the plant label for any notes on support or pruning that apply to that particular stock. Where to place Delphinium tatsienense in a UK garden depends on those species-specific notes, but its defined flowering window makes it suitable where summer bloom is required. If you need precise placement and winter protection advice, refer to the provenance information from the grower. Expect Delphinium tatsienense to flower from June to August.
