The magnificent, tall Delphinium with its lush flower spikes evokes summer feelings and radiates romance with its special colours. The Delphinium, also known as “Delphinium”, is a real eye-catcher thanks to its stems reaching into the air.
With a little care, Delphinium provides lasting enjoyment for ca. 5-7 days.
Choose a large, tall vase for Delphinium, so that at least half of the stems stand in the water. Most importantly: use only a clean vase.
For the ca. 80 cm long Delphinium from Tom Flowers, we recommend the TF Vase Large.
Fill the vase with cold water so that the stems then stand in the water at least up to the halfway point or just below the leaves.
Dissolve the enclosed care agent completely in the water.
Remove all leaves up to just below the flowers. It is best to pluck them off with your fingers. The remaining leaves must not reach into the water later.
Cut the Delphinium slightly at an angle with a sharp knife or the TF flower scissors.
After cutting, place the Delphinium immediately into the prepared vase, so that the cut surfaces do not dry out and no air enters the water channels of the stems.
To protect the Delphinium from wilting or rotting too quickly, do not place it in direct sunlight, in a location that is too warm, or near fruit.
Delphinium can absorb a great deal of water through its stems. Make sure that the Delphinium always has enough water, change the water every two days, and cut the stems fresh again.

It is in the nature of things that the lifespan of fresh Delphinium cannot be predicted precisely. Delphinium that is fresh daily and of the highest quality should remain fresh for 5 - 7 days with good care. The actual lifespan, however, depends on many factors such as correct handling, regular care and, lastly, the temperature: the warmer it is, the faster Delphinium wilts.
Delphinium can be cut slightly at an angle with a clean, sharp knife or the TF flower scissors. This maximises 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 leads to premature wilting.
Never place Delphinium in full sun or in another warm location. Otherwise the flowers evaporate more water than they can absorb through the stem and dry out within a short time.
Leaves that reach into the water promote the formation of bacteria in the water. These in turn attack the cut flowers, which leads to faster wilting.
We recommend placing Delphinium in water at room temperature.
Delphinium symbolises loyalty, health and cheerfulness.
It is essential to note that Delphinium is very poisonous. It should be kept away from children, dogs and cats.
