Technical details of Delphinium Mix:
Botanical name: Delphinium elatum (varietal mix)
Seed quantity: 10 selected seeds
Plant Type and Crop Cycle: Herbaceous perennial, often grown as an annual in colder climates to obtain immediate flowering.
Plant Height: The strains included in the mix can reach significant heights, typically between 90 and 180 cm, creating a stunning visual impact.
Uses: Ideal for borders, garden beds, cottage gardens, backdrops for other plants, and as an excellent cut flower for long-lasting floral arrangements.
Tasting Notes: Characterized by imposing flower spikes with spur-shaped petals, in a wide range of colors including blue, purple, white, and pink. The foliage is lobed, dark green, and dense.
Hardiness and Origin: It is cold-hardy (USDA zones 3-7/8). Our selections are designed for hardiness and adaptability to a variety of climates.
Sowing time: Direct sowing is recommended in spring (after the last frost) or late fall. For earlier flowering, sow in a protected environment in late winter/early spring and transplant the young seedlings outdoors.
Harvest period (flowers): The flowers bloom mainly in summer (June to August), with the possibility of a second flowering if the spent spikes are pruned promptly.
Optimal conditions for germination: Benefit from a period of cold stratification to improve germination. Keep the substrate constantly moist. The ideal temperature for germination is between 15°C and 20°C.
Soil type: Prefers well-drained soil, rich in organic matter, with a neutral or slightly alkaline pH.
Recommended exposure: Requires full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day) in temperate climates. In areas with very hot summers, light partial shade during the hottest afternoon hours is recommended.
Germination times: Seeds generally germinate within 14-28 days, but this can vary depending on conditions and any stratification.
Pot or ground cultivation: Although it thrives best in open ground where it can reach its full potential, it can also be grown in large, deep pots, as long as it receives sufficient space and nutrition.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO seeds, from a varietal mix selected for the beauty of their flowers and high germination, guaranteeing an excellent foundation for your organic and sustainable garden.
