Delphinium Seed ( Annual )

To aid in the germination of Larkspur seeds, place the flower seeds on a damp paper towel, seal the towel and seeds in a ziploc bag and place in the refrigerator for 1 - 2 weeks. After removing the flower seeds from the refrigerator, directly sow the Larkspur flower seeds outdoors in prepared soil, keeping the seeds moist until germination. Larkspur seeds can also be sown indoors and Larkspur seedlings transplanted outside after 8 weeks of growth. Larkspur care includes staking the tall flowers if needed, watering deeply each week, and applying a liquid fertilizer every other week during the growing season. After blooms are spent, cut back hard to encourage a second bloom later in the season. The flower seeds and Larkspur plants are poisonous so do not consume.
LET416 Blue Pygmy
Also known as Blue Elf, this is very different from the traditional tall spiky Delphiniums, this strain forms a low, bushy mound of lacy green leaves growing only about 10-14 inches tall. Plants bear loose sprays of single, spurred deep-blue flowers, blooming for literally months on end. Ideal for containers, the rock garden and edging in the sunny border.
It puts on a spectacular show from early summer to fall, with 1.5", deep blue flowers which cover the lacy leaves. Though it is short-lived, it is worth using as edging, a bedding plant, or in containers combined with brightly colored annuals. Probably does best grown as an annual.
