Different varieties of the the Delphinium family can range from 1 to 7 feet.When to Plant Delphinium SeedsPlant your Delphinium seeds in the fall or spring, early in the season.Where to Plant Delphinium SeedsDelphinium plants like full sun to partial shade, and they will grow very quickly. They thrive in average soil and cool weather.How to Plant Delphinium SeedsWhile not required, Delphinium seeds can benefit from a special 1 to 2 week treatment called cold moist stratification prior to planting them. Learn more about the importance and process of cold moist stratification below.Delphinium is notoriously difficult to transplant, so it is best to sow seeds directly into your flower garden after all danger of frost. Cover Delphinium seeds lightly with 1/8th inch of soil. Space your seeds 4 inches apart, and after germination, thin seedlings to 10-12 inches apart. Keep the soil moist to feed your Delphinium fast growth.How to Care for DelphiniumDuring dry periods, water them once or twice a week. Provide a general purpose fertilizer once a month until after they have bloomed. Staking may be necessary to keep them from bending under the weight of the blooms. Delphinium are highly susceptible to frost, fungal disease (especially Sclerotium), and mildew. Insects should not be a problem, but if they are, use a general purpose insect repellent. ** Delphinium can be poisonous to some animals—most notably cattle!**Cold Moist Stratification In this technique, you simply add a small step to the process of creating a false winter—add moisture! The method involves dampening the seeds to soften them and allowing them to absorb water. The moisture helps spark germination. Place seeds in a plastic bag with a handful of slightly dampened clean peat, paper towels, or a mix of clean peat and sand. You don’t want the seeds to be dripping wet! Place the bag in the refrigerator. The length of time it remains cold will vary depending on the variety of seed, so be sure to check planting guides for specific timeframes. Frequently check the bag for mold or fungus. If any are present, plant your seeds right away. WE SHIP FAST & FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail. NO TRACKING.
