HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR DELPHINIUMS 
For most striking effect plant a row of delphiniums at the back 
of your perennial border or along a fence. They bloom with 
Phlox and Hemerocallis (Daylily), and are also beautiful with 
Regal Lilies and Kaempferi Iris. Plant in a cool, well drained 
soil. (For fertilizers see Page 64.) Delphiniums require lime and 
plenty of water. Foliage should be kept as dry as possible. If 
plants are cut to a few inches after blooming, they usually 
bloom again in fall. Thrive in all zones. Extremely hardy. Plant 
in spring or fall; however in zones 1, 2, and 3, fall planting is 
recommended. (See Zone Map and Information on Pages 44-45.)
