Description

A spectacular new hybrid Delphinium of outstanding quality, that is one of the first doubles, coming over 90% true from seed.

Densely packed spikes of top quality make an excellent cut flower of this perfect border plant.

Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:February to June or September to October.

Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Keep at a temperature of between 10-15C (50-59F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination can take 1-3 months.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 60cm (24in) apart. For best results, provide a sunny, sheltered site and a deep, fertile, well-drained soil.

Caution

Harmful if eaten.
