Specific Sowing and Growing Recommendations

Sowing Instructions: Transplanting is highly recommended. Sow your Cliveden Beauty Delphinium seeds 10-16 weeks before your intended planting-out date, covering the seeds lightly as they need darkness to germinate. Transplant seedlings into larger cell packs or 3-4″ containers 6-8 weeks after germination. Grow seedlings at a cool temperature of 50-55°F (10-13°C) in a greenhouse or cold frames. Harden off the seedlings before transplanting them outside after the last frost.

Growing Instructions: Choose a location that receives sun to part shade with well-drained, fertile, slightly alkaline soil rich in organic matter. Provide strong support, especially in exposed locations.
