distribution_en:

description_en: Genus of about 250 species of annuals, biennials, and perennials found mainly in mountainous areas worldwide, except Australia and the polar regions. They are grown for their spikes, racemes, or occasionally panicles of shallowly cup-shaped, sometimes hooded, spurred, single to fully double flowers, often known as "florets". Most have fibrous or fleshy roots, although some are tuberous. The basal leaves, mostly to 20cm (8in) long, are toothed and deeply or shallowly 3- to 5-lobed, occasionally 7-lobed. Grow tall delphiniums in a mixed border or island bed, and dwarf ones in a rock garden. All parts may cause severe discomfort if ingested, and contact with foliage may irritate skin. For ease of reference, delphinium cultivars have been grouped as follows

hardiness_en: Fully hardy.

cultivation_en:

propagation_en: Sow seed at 13°C (55°F) in early spring. For Elatum and Belladonna Group cultivars, take pencil-thick basal cuttings, 7-10cm (3-4in) long, with solid heels, from close to the crown in early spring.

pests_en: Susceptible to slugs, snails, leaf miners, delphinium moth caterpillars, leafblotch, powdery mildew, crown rot (on mature plants), and occasionally cucumber mosaic virus.
