Frequently asked questions
Delphinium Ajacis
Will it flower again after fading?
As an annual its season is limited; removing spent spikes may extend the display, but the plant declines after flowering.
Is it safe around pets?
ASPCA lists larkspur (Delphinium) as toxic to cats and dogs; keep it where pets cannot reach.
Are the flowers always blue?
Deep blue is most common, but pink, white or mixed forms exist; the plant received is the final standard.
Does it need pruning?
No routine pruning is needed beyond removing spent spikes; stake tall spikes so they do not topple.
