Unwins Delphinium Pacific Giants Seeds

Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in the warmth 10-15°C and keep moist.

Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5cm apart into trays of potting compost. Alternatively, transplant individually to 8cm pots.

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out when danger of frost has passed. Allow 45cm between plants.

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.
