Delphinium Consolida Fancy Purple Picotee (larkspur)

Delphinium Consolida Fancy Purple Picotee (larkspur)

Annual larkspur in a brighter purple-blue shade, very special.

Very beautiful en masse in a vase and also dries well as a dried flower!
In the border I would rather plant them in the middle or at the back, because they grow quite high.
You can sow this hardy annual in autumn or early spring (February)
They prefer a cold growing period, this way you get bigger, higher plants. Germinates best at cold temperatures. At temperatures above 13°C they do not germinate easily. So it is best to sow them in a cold, unheated greenhouse. Certainly not on a warm windowsill. Germinates between 2 and 3 weeks. If you do not have a greenhouse, you can also put the seeds in the refrigerator (2°C) for 7 days to promote germination.
Also give these plants some support, so they don't fall over in wind or heavy rain.

Harvest them when 1/3 of the flowers are open and you can expect a good week of vase life.
