HIGHLY POISONOUS - all parts of this plant are extremely toxic upon ingestion, and could be fatal.

Delphiniums are very susceptable to disease, so when choosing a place to plant, be sure that it is free of any type of history with diseased plants. A good systemic bug zapper is not a bad idea either, just read the label carefully to be sure it will work for delphinium, or larkspur.
