Sowing Indoors
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with vermiculite or a little more compost. Place in the warmth, 15-20°C and keep moist. Keep in a light position but away from direct sunlight.
Growing On
When large enough to handle, transplant individual seedlings into 8cm pots. Slowly acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out once the danger of frost has passed.
Planting Out
Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot in well-drained, fertile soil. Allow 30cm between plants. Alternatively, plant in a patio pot using a good quality compost. Keep well-watered, especially during warm, dry spells.
Delphiniums like a sunny, sheltered spot in fertile, well-drained soil. Water and feed well in spring and early summer. Will require staking to provide support. Remove spent flower spikes as this may encourage a second flowering later in the season. Earlier sowings will flower the same year, later sowings the following year.
Caution: Humans / Pets: Harmful if eaten.
How to grow
Sow seeds on to the surface of pre-watered seed compost, but don't cover them. Keep warm, around 20°C and keep moist, but not wet. Allow 1-2 weeks for germination.
