Delphiniums need care. But what they give in return is well worth the effort. It's preferable to grow at the back of a border or in the middle of an island bed. This crown jewel draws attention! There is nothing quite like delphiniums in the garden. After delphiniums have finished blooming, cut flower stalks to the ground, and new, though smaller, flower stalks will develop. The flowers will survive the coming cold days and even light frosts. Soil should not dry out. Water plants during the summer if rainfall is less than 1 inch per week. Make sure soil is fertile and well drained. Space new container grown plants 30 inches apart. Other important factors when planting includes, applying a balanced liquid fertilizer every month as Delphinium plants are heavy feeders. Because of this plant's potential height and hollow stems, plant in an area that is sheltered from high winds, or stake the plant to avoid them falling over or breaking. WHAT YOU WILL RECIEVE: A clear zip locked resealable bag clearly labeled with seed type of the fresh quality seed that will yield, when planted, the beautiful plant as described. To get a jump start on the growing season, sow Delphinium flower seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before last frost. Delphinium seeds require darkness for germination so cover them well. Plan well when transferring to the garden. They prefer morning sun and shade in the afternoon.
