Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from February to April in trays or pots filled with moist, well-drained compost. Lightly press the seeds into the surface, as they need light to germinate, but do not cover them. Keep the compost moist and maintain a temperature of 15-18°C. Germination usually takes 14-28 days.

 

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions for a week. After the last frost, plant them outdoors in a sunny or partially shaded position with well-drained soil. Space the plants 30-45 cm apart to allow room for their tall growth.

 

Delphinium Pacific Giant prefers fertile, slightly alkaline soil and will benefit from regular watering and feeding with a balanced fertiliser. Staking may be required to support the tall stems and prevent them from toppling in strong winds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering and prolong the blooming season.

 

This dramatic and elegant delphinium variety is perfect for gardeners looking to add height, colour, and a touch of grandeur to their outdoor spaces. With its stunning spikes of blooms, Delphinium Pacific Giant Mixed will make a striking impact throughout the summer.
