Delphinium Seeds Giant imperial pack of 30-40 seeds Open Pollinated

Delphinium Seeds Store the seed in the refrigerator in a sealed container until ready to plant. Delphinium seed germination is sensitive to high moisture and temperature. You should use a disease-free seed sowing mix to avoid “damping off” to which delphiniums are susceptible. Cover the seed lightly.

Keep in an airy, light place. Water is only enough to keep the surface from drying out. It is very important not to overwater or the seed and/or seedlings will quickly rot. Ariocarpus trigonus can be a good companion

Delphinium Seeds Germination for most species is best between 18 and 24°C (65 – 75°F). Do not allow temperatures to exceed 26°C (80°F). Once germinated, the seedlings will grow happily in cooler temperatures. Watering the seed with a general fungicide can be beneficial in helping to prevent disease problems.

Give further treatment when most of the seedlings have emerged after about 10 days. (These applications are precautions only but help to reduce damping off when conditions favor the disease). Can try Hybrid variety also of delphinium

Pot each seedling individually into a small pot when the first true leaves appear.

Delphinium Seeds It is not necessary to germinate delphinium seed in the dark. But if you do, you must be very careful to remove the seedlings to the light once they are germinated. A delay of just a day or two, when temperatures are warm (say above 18°C) will result in elongated, white seedlings which will stand little chance of survival. It is therefore a good idea to place the seeds in the light after the very first sign of germination. Warm temperatures (21-25°C) give a fast, even germination.
