Description
A beautiful tall and slender Delphinium species. Lots of vivid blue flowers on long, narrow panicles in mid summer, July usually in this region. This is a tuberous Delphinium so it will not flower too fast from seeds (in the 3th or 4th year) but worth the wait!
The mother plant was grown from wild coll. seeds in the Carpathians Mts./Ukraine. It requires a full sun position and a moist but well drained substrate. It doesn’t need staking. Excellent in the middle or at the back of a flower bed.
Germination: like for most Ranunculaceae, the mature seeds contain an under-developed embryo, which in most cases require first a slightly warm stratification before cold/moist stratification, in order to germinate.
It is best to sow the seeds in late fall to provide a slightly warm period before the cold (winter). The germination can be irregular from my experience and can happen in the second year. The seedlings are small in the first season, best to grow them in the same pot for 2 years.
