How to Grow
Sow these seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost. Plant at a depth of 1/4 inch, and make sure to keep seeds moist until germination. Seedlings can be transplanted outdoors after frost danger has passed. These seeds can also be sown directly outdoors anywhere from spring through fall, although they will bloom much later than if planted indoors. Plant after frost danger has passed. Delphinium plants are heavy feeders, so make sure to apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every month. Plants should be spaced approximately 30 inches apart for best performance.

Delphinium (Delphinium Elatum Magic Fountains Lavender White Bee) - A wonderful compact series of larkspur ideal for smaller gardens, borders or patio containers. Low growing mounds of dark green foliage present tall sturdy stems reaching 36 inches tall, covered in beautiful semi-double flowers. Delphiniums make excellent cut flowers.
Delphinium grow best in full sun; however, in hotter zones they may be planted in bright shade areas that still receive some direct sunlight during the day. They thrive in rich, deeply worked soil that drains well. Prefers cool, moist summer nights. Space plants approximately 24 inches apart for optimum performance. Grows well in zones 3 - 7, but in hotter zones you may need to treat as hardy annual. Delphinium care includes applying a balanced liquid fertilizer every month as the plants are heavy feeders.
To get a jump start on the growing season, sow Delphinium seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before last frost. Use sterile starter mix in trays and cover flower seeds 1/8 - 1/4 inches.
