The magnificent, tall delphinium with its lush flower clusters evokes summer feelings and exudes romance with its distinctive colors. The larkspur, also known as "delphinium," is a real eye-catcher with its airy stems.
With a little care, delphiniums will give you joy for about 5-7 days.
Choose a tall, large vase for delphiniums, so that at least half of the stems are submerged in water. Most importantly, use only a clean vase.
For the approximately 80 cm long delphinium from Tom Flowers we recommend the TF Vase Large .
Fill the vase with cold water so that the stems are at least halfway submerged or just below the leaves.
Dissolve the enclosed care product completely in the water.
Remove all the leaves up to just below the blossoms. It's best to pluck them off with your fingers. The remaining leaves shouldn't be allowed to protrude into the water later.
Cut the delphinium slightly diagonally with a sharp knife or TF flower scissors .
After cutting, place the delphinium immediately in the prepared vase so that the cut surfaces do not dry out and no air gets into the water channels of the stems.
To prevent delphiniums from wilting or rotting too quickly, do not place them in direct sunlight, in a location that is too warm, or near fruit.
Delphiniums can absorb a lot of water through their stems. Make sure the delphinium always has enough water. Change the water every two days and cut the stems again.

It's natural that the lifespan of fresh delphiniums cannot be precisely predicted. Top-quality, day-fresh delphiniums should stay fresh for 5-7 days with proper care. However, the actual lifespan depends on many factors, including proper handling, regular maintenance, and, finally, temperature: The warmer it is, the faster delphiniums wilt.
Delphiniums can be cut slightly diagonally with a clean, sharp knife or TF flower scissors . This maximizes water absorption without damaging the water channels in the stem.
Never place your delphinium next to a fruit bowl. Ripe fruit emits ethylene, a gas that causes premature withering.
Never place delphiniums in direct sunlight or any other warm location. Otherwise, the flowers will evaporate more water than they can absorb through the stem and will quickly die of thirst.
Leaves that extend into the water promote the formation of bacteria in the water. These, in turn, attack the cut flowers, leading to faster wilting.
We recommend placing delphiniums in water at room temperature.
Larkspur stands for loyalty, health and cheerfulness.
It is important to note that delphinium is highly poisonous. It should be kept away from children, dogs, and cats.
